16. No job is complete until the paperwork is done :cry:

Really looking forward to seeing Lil Bit on the water.

If I've got the sequence confirmed correct I may, just may, have a test float and stroke this weekend. Just won't risk step 15 until 16 is done.

Just need to make sure I plant the screws in the wood properly.

So close to getting her on the water. I may just row her around the launch.
1108

1109
