Sweet looking boat ya' got there Mick. Congrats on gettin' some blood on her decks. Good stuff when you can build it and then take it out, have some fun, and gather a little grub too! Beautiful pics, my favorite part, not twenty boats roaring in the background!

Good stuff! Just remembered a good one. Don't - -Forget the keys to the car parked at the takeout! :wink: [/b]
