Larry,
Every time I see pictures of your boat I think to myself "That is not a boat, it is a work of art" You sure have every reason in the world to be proud of your boat!

We sure liked it when we visited him at Thanksgiving.

If you did't already know, before you start the wrap on the guides take them and file the starting edges down to a sharp taper. This lets you wind the thread smoothly up the foot of the guide and not have to go over a hump.makes a very smooth transition. I like your color match.

Well trying to do a nicer job on my rods, here is a first time olive branch, lots of work but worth it:

Ok, my first try at carbon fiber grip, not bad but will be better in the future.

Your olive branch image didn't come through but I found it. That's very cool

Well after having people who don't know how to drive at the boat ramp parking lot, who seem to like to hit my trailer lights I thought I'd give this a try. A lot cheaper than replacing lights each time. Had I thought when I built the trailer I'd have done something different so they couldn't hit them, but my hind sight is pretty darn good so this is how I fix it.

Well Done Larry!

Love it Larry.

I just became acquainted with this build, as it was done and dusted before I jointed the forum.

Nice job, nice OD18!

And it contains the best demonstration of the worth of spray rails I've seen on the forum.

Thanks!
