My nephew boat handled perfectly. He, my daughter and I went and
launched at Vincennes, and headed north, went up to what is known as
the "11 mile island" Saw some great scenery, watched eagles, turtles,
etc. There were some branchs that we wwould ahve liked to have gone
"exploring" in, and probably would if we had a trolling motor.


A great memory your nephew and daughter will always remember and a positive
experience to keep boating in their life.

Nice going Tim! ;-)

yes, Jim, this has been an interesting project. The lad got the boat
of his dreams , Well, for a 17/18 yr. old. during the transactions and
rfepairs, he turned 18. so Uncle Tim donated some parts and part of
the labor (made him do a lot of it) as a Birthday present. He's saving
up for a trolling motor as we speak. Again, I told him he doesn't need
anything fancy. Like the Depthfinder. He can have some real fun for
cheap.

Jim, this has been a blast. Would I do it again? HECK YES!
