Glad to see you out on the water and getting the bugs worked out. I bought a 14 foot Springbok, model 1460 at the end of July. I had hoped to run it for the rest of the season but due to a waterlogged hull and other problems I ended up tearing it down for a complete rebuild. I would like to have it together for one run before winter but I don't know if that will happen. In the mean time I hope to watch the progress you are making with yours. I love the lines of these boats.
