Andros Backwater 18 (new pics 8/29)

Post by salty tiger »

Figured I'd share some of the build pictures of my first boat. They got started last Thursday and say they should be finished by the end of the month. So far the guys at Andros have been great to do business with. After a few months of dealing with the salesman mentality of dealers, working directly with a builder has been a breath of fresh air.

Great builders and even better boat!!! I've been thoroughly looking into them for a while.

Can't wait to see the finished project!

What do you plan to put on the back of her? and think of a name yet!?
