I'm envious of both the boat and the skills that got it that way.

I appreciate the compliments! The best part of the build is a sense of accomplishment through personal adversity.

When I was a kid, that was the boat I had to have. I never got around to it and am very impressed with what you have done. It looks great!!

Yeah that would have been really wild! This thing will hual the mail with that 25 on it. Not sayin an HD is out of the question, but a glass boat won't take the beatin a mud motor is gonna dish out!

Didn't you try your hand at boat building last year?

Nice looking boat. Is that a 3 cylinder on the back? Bet she will haul the mail.
