Thanks. Can't wait to try it out!


What's the bottom line ($$$) on this if you don't mind me
asking?


Hmm. Obviously it's not cheap, would rather not talk about
it. Let's say, the materials to build it cost somewhat less
than one of these

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

HA! You didn't include labor! How many hours you have into it? At
what hourly rate? Bit personal satisfaction does exonerate some of
that. (IOWm does K. know how much you spent?_

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!

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."
