Now that I figured out how to upload photos I will be able to share my progress. My barn is less than a hundred yards from my house. It is heated, has running water most any tool that I could possibly need. If it is not there it is probably in my work truck. I guess what I am getting at is I have no excuses. I always say that I am to busy, but we all know that if you want to do something you find the time. I think maybe I am getting lazy, old and tired. Or maybe all three.
I do have some incentive . My young son who was in some of the earlier photos has grown into a young man. I told him that if he helps me finish this boat, he can have it. So hopefully it will be a win win. I’ll get to spend some more time with my son before he goes off to school. He will get a chance to learn a few more things from the old man, and if not he will at least get a boat out of it. Here is a photo of how close the barn is to my house.

Those photos are kind of misleading as they are from September of 2018 and were on my iPad. I can honestly tell you that nothing has changed other than the trees are bare and we have snow on the ground.

Looking forward to seeing her cut a nice wake

Good to see that you are still active on here.i was just looking at your at your 22’ Islander thread and saw that it hasn’t been active for a year. When I was young we had a 1976 22, Islander with a 165hp MerCruiser. I loved that boat. I Pulled it with a Ford F-150 with a 300 six cylinder and only slowed down on the larger hills.
Do you have a project going on at the moment?

Yeah I'm here almost daily and the Islander is my after retirement project I'm hanging onto. I have the little 14' Seafarer that I'm going to get finished up to use on little lakes, ponds and motor restricted waters.
