Thank you for your comments. When you build something yourself you really appreciate it more. If i decide to put on a skeg in the future would it be okay to just scuff the graphite bottom with 80 grit and glue it on? Im thinking when its time to touch up the graphite on the bottom ill add the skeg. I also got a tiller extention handle for the motor. I find it a little uncomfortable to steer the motor sitting on the transom seat for long periods of time. Hopefully ill get more pics this weekend this time with some fish :D .

I just needed to say that is some outstanding work. That is what is possible when you don't say it is good enough and you put some more time on the finish. Others are admiring the results even if they aren't commenting.
