This may sound stupid, but I keep looking at your trim tab wells and I can't understand or figure how they are going to work

| Without reading all 10 pages to find the answer to a question that has probably already been asked! What is the finished, dry weight? |

Not stupid I'm almost certain those trim tab recesses are for QL Marine (Volvo Penta) tabs. They are very different from standard tabs. See http://www.great-water.com/pages/QL/QL_Trim_Sys.htm
If you look at the pic of the tabs, the recess will make sense.

LOL! definately a solid boat. there are some extras like real teak floor and covering boards, and the center console with the electrically actuated top center console and solid leaning post that are upping the weight but it all should look amazing!

Oh who could forget sanding! progress has been steady. You have the qualifications to sand. However if you have been enjoying the build we wouldn't want to ruin you by pushing a block!

Man I just found this thread this AM and have been trying to get some work done but not having much luck ;) Coming from someone that just helped some Cub Scouts build birdfeeders from a handful of pieces of 1"X boards...well what do I say but TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!
Haven't got on your website yet (I have to get something done today!!) but keep these posts coming! Really appreciate watching the whole build process. |

Wow
Hope I did not keep y'all working too late Friday. Will post a report from my visit later when I have time.
Y'all deserve all the success you'll have in the future. Wish more in our generation would ignore the fair, town festival, and football game going on while y'all prepped and painted. Sacrifice and dedication are understatements.......
