boat restoration

[phatdaddy]

gotta be a "east coast vs west coast" thing, but that is one ugly boat, before & after. you have to really admire the guy for having a vision and building it. reminds me of what ricky nelson told john lennon in madison square garden in 1971, "You can't please everyone, so you gotta please yourself."

I thought the same thing about that trailer. I admire the guy for his effort, but he should have found a hull worthy of it.

I admire the guy for all of his hard work too. I do not care for the look of the boat all that much, but, assuming it is seaworthy (and not too top heavy), it should be pretty practical for fishing. Not sure why, but for some reason I just perceive a tragedy in the making along the lines of that thing rolling over in a heavy sea.
