The wife cooked a feast and it was beautiful out today and we considered going for a motorcycle ride but took a nap instead.

Almost all boat builders have switched from marine plywood to materials like this 1/2" Proboard plastic panel material that is close to the same weight as plywood, but you save time not having to resin coat, or treat it. The cost of this type of material is just one example of reasons that boats have become so expensive for everyone, but the fact that it will never rot is good enough.

I have learned a LOT over the course of this project because you and your team or so knowlegeable and professional. I'm really glad we did this. You keep surprising me in a very positive way.
Thanks

Mark, the boat looks great. I look forward to seeing it up close.
You pick a great crew to do your project. Having met Dave and get to know him, he is the right man for the job. (great work Dave!!!)
I agree with Jason, Mark you should put together a national Baja regatta. With advanced info I'd drive just about anywhere to go to that dig.

You know I cannot take all the credit on this project, I just report to Mark what the team accomplished on a daily basis.
We have the cream of the crop of ex-Baja employees working on this boat, without dealing with any (questionable) upper management personel.
