Ok, I'm back working on the boat again. Ended up getting a divorce and had to put the OB in storage for a while, can't do much work on her in an apartment. I should have the reverse chines completed this weekend and the rest of the fairing completed in the next few weeks then prime, paint and flip!!

That's funny. If I were you, that'd lead me to some interesting boat names:
inamorata
doxy
Mistress
Paramour
cocotte
tart

note - I'm just having fun, this is certainly not meant to offend.

Looking good so far man. I think a boat build is the perfect thing to keep you occupied at this point :wink:
