Blacksmith Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Yesterday, I became a boat builder, not just a guy working on a boat. We launched the Micro Trawler, Someday. IT WAS SOOO COOL! It was raining, windy and cold. High temp in the upper 40's. When we were packing up, there was a down pour. But we had invited friends, my wife had made a lot of food, so we went ahead. We drove to the park,I set up a rain fly, fired up the grill and had a launch party Thank you all for your support and patience with all my questions Quote
Jim Stumpf Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Now that you have your own 5 star hotel on the water where is your first trip to. Great job, have fun and be safe. Jim Quote
Hirilonde Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 The title of your thread says what matters, now its time to go have some fun (not to imply building em isn't). She looks good out there on the water, enjoy! Quote
Dave R1 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Congratulations! And just in time for the messabout, too. Quote
Bill Paxton Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Way to go! Your perseverance has paid off. You now know the unique satisfaction of piloting a boat you've built. Quote
Craig Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Well done Sir. Nothing like that feeling in all the world. Almost like having a baby. Beyond the hard work and $$ this links you to the few over the centuries who can take raw material and make something useful of it with little or no outside help. Congratulations and welcome aboard.

Steve Day Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Way cool!! Looks like the cabin/wheelhouse was just what the doctor ordered with the weather the way it was. That is a great concept in a boat in northern Wisconsin. She looks good and you should be justifiably proud of her and your accomplishment. Congratulations Steve Quote
Ken_Potts Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Congratulations! Looks great! I bet you're going to have a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Quote
RSdaCat Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Craig - Almost like having a baby. Beyond the hard work and $$.... Like having a baby in reverse, this way you put in all the time, $$ and effort, into shaping, molding, moaning, crying, and worrying about the abillity to float BEFORE she is born. And you have the FUN after.... :wink: Congratulations on your beautiful new arrival... May she bring you steady on every course, safely into every harbour you steer her towards, and home to those you love at the end of each adventure. Quote
