An amazing project - I'd still be getting yelled at by the bride

Ha...After 40 years of marriage..im kinda tone deaf to it. I do what I want within reason.
She loves the boat and fishing from it. She is a good sport.....never complains....about the lack of toilet.
We have a great time even when yelling at each other. I have to ask her to watch her backcast constantly.

We all enjoy our boats but my guess is you get a special feeling stepping on board yours than the rest of us get.....

Had (having ?) a great season with lots of memories...

We'll be back at it soon enough Bob,,,, 5 yrs... Wow

Yeah, I am surprised too. Would have guessed three years. Kudos for taking it on, and bigger kudos for completing it! I have had my eye on an offshore hull that has been under construction for at least ten years... being built by a local contractor(who is a #^&#^&#^&#^&head) Not much progress from my vantage point over the past couple years. It would be very satisfying to get it for pennies on the dollar and finish her.

My last trip for the season will be Saturday. Try livelining some macks for bass and hopefully our one cod..... Haul for the season on the afternoon tide. Spend Sunday putting her away for another winter.

Thanks Ross.....there were times during the build (2 1/2 years)that my will and commitment was tested.
My wife didnt like the idea of me building a boat and thought it meant she would be left at home alot once it was completed.
She had very little interest until the boat was finished, but after her first trip she was hooked.
Now she checks windfinder on her own and wants her right of first refusal before I invite anyone else. Not a bad thing, she is a trooper, we have fun and lots of laughs too.

Saturdays weather is looking good....soooo maybe another last call is in order...

Went out last saturday with my oldest son and had a great day.
We caught some nice fish, but what I enjoyed most was watching him at the helm with a big grin on his face. We laughed at all the trials and tribulations we faced during the build....and the gazzilion batches of epoxy he mixed.
