Looks great! Lots of work there and great idea on the yard sticks!
The only thing I would have done different is painted the gunnles with smooth paint. That non slip paint is pretty hard till you wear down the sharpness some. But when you on a budget like most of us, you got to go with what you have! Keep up the good work!!! You are going to have a nice skiff there when you are done!

i definately wanted the gunnels nonskid, beside the fact it saved me a ton ofwork by not having to block out the glass work, I did't want to have a slick spot on the deck, you never know when you might be standing on it. Besides, I think it looks pretty cool

Agreed, I am thinking of a bigger boat when say that, I like to sit on the sides and jig, and other stuff, so non skid would be a issue there, but a small skiff with low freeboard I can see you reason.
Keep up the good work!

naw, I tried to get some work done on it last weekend and everthing I touched turned to crap(my whole week was like that), I had to walk away from it before I set it a fire. Weather has been crappy all day today, spent the day with the family, did the Disney on Ice thing with the kids, droppped them off at the inlaws, the wife and I went out for diner. I'm going to piddle with teh Mckee a little tomorrow, we'll see what I get done

The boat looks great. I heard the McKee family is trying to buy back the company and get it up and running again. Let's hope so. They've built some fine boats. Keep taking good care of the family.
