Tom,

Now I understand why you've been so busy!

The boat is beautiful - I bet you can't wait to take it out on its innaugural voyage! Best of luck!

That boat is bad ass, I remember reading about it in Powerboat and Boating when I was a kid. Can't wait to see more pictures of the resto

Cockpit bolsters removed and the Avon storage compartment removed.
