Congrats Luke and have followed your build from the beginning and loved the style and history of your boat. Don't tell anyone but I almost voted for your project instead of my own. It was an honor and privilege to even be considered along with you and the other projects. Congrats to everyone. Now talk later because it's in the 70's here and I am out fishing.

Thank you everyone! I am honored to have won this award. When I looked at the other nomenies, I knew it was going to close , as everyone did great work!!

I can't wait to use the boat when the lake unfreezes, and just sit back and enjoy the finished product. I could not have turned her out without everyone here at the forum.

Once again thank you for the award! I am Looking forward to seeing what 2017 has in store for the community and watching others projects come together!

Lake frozen over, that must suck. Was out yesterday, today and will be again tomorrow fishing. Air temps in the high 70's and water temps a bit chilly at 65 degrees. Glad we don't have ice overed waters.
