Very cool job.
Yes, the very best part of Florida, muck and all. But don't tell anyone. LOL

BTW, I could go on for days about boats. The heritage on the Inverted V goes back to the 1900's. Ray Hunt and his friend Fisher were impressed enough with Hickman's Sea Sleds to offer Hickman royalties and was scheduled to build the Sea Sleds but instead took the design and added a center V and created the 13' Whaler. Hickman built the first aircraft carrier for the U.S. Navy although it was only for launching the aircraft and he was the inventor of surface piercing drives. Where are the men of genious of today? I feel quite stupid in light of all this guy accomplished.
