Bolted was the plan from day one as the sliding door has a critical fit and Danny wanted the reveals and margin's exact.

I always thought PPs were perfectly built. When Dan took me through the shop seven years ago I never saw any flaws in the five boats I looked at, both inside and out. I would say he came as close to building a perfect boat as anyone in the industry.

I don't recall a broken gimbal or oil... Years ago I was looking at a twin BB 28 and recieved many PM's saying to walk away. Just curious if it was the same one...

Yeah weather hasn't been great but this weekend was and next is looking pretty good too
