Hey Garris,

Completely agree. Like most things we tackle, many of the hundreds of decisions on a project like this comes down to personal preferences and experience. However, the goal we all have is to end up with a solid boat that we can enjoy for many years without worry. :)

And Thanks for the compliments on our project. Took her out yesterday and had to smile w/ all the folks looking at her both on and off the trailer.

Now if she just had a bit more Vee...

Smooth seas!
