Looking good but I thought you were going to build a grouper boat.

Looking at doing a resto for a grouper boat.....Had my heart set on a Seacraft, Mako or Robalo, something in a 23 with a bracket

It will be cool to see how it progresses. I'll bet you will be super proud of it when you're done. Good luck.

I think it's great you're building a boat. But, think of all the time you COULD be fishin.

Chalk the worst part is over. The first cut of expensive wood is the worst part. After starting, it's all down hill.
Watched my grandfather on more than one occasion bust plywood bulkheads while bending them to fit a new frame.
Learned a lot of cuss words during those times.

Each piece cut is a step to the end, but I will be sure to call you when the sanding starts

Just let me know when. I'm real good at watching others work. Might even have a little advice to give now and then. (for a small consultation fee
)

Are the sponsons going to be an integral part of the hull? Like a Hell's Bay?
