chazwell Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Finally 'done' ..... It's behind schedule but just in time for a Christmas present to myself . It doesn't seem to fit too well under the tree. Unfortunately December in New England is no time to be testing out a new boat. How long until spring?

Action Tiger Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 That is the weirdest looking Santa decoration I've ever seen. Cool looking boat, though. Pssst... I think I know what you got for Christmas. No kayak testing out here in California now, either. Brrr, and stormy. Lots of great surfing, though, if you're of a certain mindset and skill level.

chazwell Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 This is my first SOF boat (so I know where all the glaring flaws are). It's a standard Ravenswood built from plans with 11 oz polyester fabric coated with "traditional" Rustoleum (in the white cans). It's been in construction off and on since spring. Basically I wanted a reasonably performing boat to keep at our camp in Maine rather than having to haul one back and forth whenever we go. I wanted the red deck to aid visibility on the water but didn't realize how 'Christmas-y' it would look until I pulled the masking tape off. Almost like a candy cane. . Given the season I thought pictures under the tree would be fun but it had to leave the living room after the photo shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Guess what? We all know where the flaws in our own boats are. Shhhh! You should be proud of your sharp looking boat. And, there's no shame in taking a while; I think I'm working on the slowest Kudzu build ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
