Really nice work, Kyle. Can't wait to see Diane driving that boat.

He's more trouble than you think, he'll kill your sugar, leave you in the drink.

Re: Finally-I'm building my boat
That's really looking nice! Gonna be a sweet ride when you're done. I just fired mine up for the 1st time yesterday (I'm the guy in Lox that bought the 0470 open Palm Beach project boat very similar to your hull, we communicated on here a few weeks ago). I thought I would be done sooner, never realizes the little things could take so much time. Keep at it, it looks great so far!

Hey Kevin, I think your hull was built by my buddy that's helping me. I think it would be cool if he could see it, maybe he could give you the history on itflcracker9 wrote:That's really looking nice! Gonna be a sweet ride when you're done.

We can definitely make that happen! We are only a couple of miles apart. I dumped mine off the trailer last night to redo the trailer bunks. I'm heading to Georgia for the weekend, but should have the trailer done middle of next week so I can load the boat back up. Anytime after that I can stop by when you and your buddy are home, I also think it would be cool if he can confirm that he built my boat and give me the run down on it! Just let me know when. You can contact me anytime on my cell, 561-644-8576
Thanks, Kevin
