Question is, which is one is worth more coolness points?

HA! You didn't include labor! How many hours you have into it?


Well, not quite enough to grow a long gray beard....
I've been working on it, off & on, for two years. The first
year was all design work and talking (emailing) back & forth
with some naval architects... which was actually kind of
fun. Should I count that as "labor"? Then there was building
two models.

The real "work" started with lofting, which I should have
spent more time on. The building the mold stations & jig,
which was kind of fun. That was back in April or so. It took
until mid-summer before it was recognizable as a boat. And
now look!



At
what hourly rate? Bit personal satisfaction does exonerate some of
that. (IOWm does K. know how much you spent?_


Oh yes. She's the one egging me on, saying "Go ahead and
order all that stuff... get extra epoxy, we have some more
projects to use it on."
