....Now just have to figure out where I left off....

Git her done!

looks awesome man cant wait to see it finished

Tried to replace the Excalibur with a Python over the weekend.. I understand that they weren't the best built boats, but WOW ! Both the Pythons were 16 years newer than my Excalibur, and both of them had soft floors and rotted stringers....

REALLY made me appreciate what I already own, so I got back to work on it....
