I went to tech center in High School but never got to build boats....Really cool! Hopefully you are inspiring the next generation of boating enthusiasts. Keep up the good work very impressive.

Nope.

I've owned mine since 2003 and I still have a 'project list'.

Excellent

What does it weigh?

 

[Bryan 2530]

Not sure yet, but she should be a nice stable platform.

 

[Brent]

that's true :lol

Will it be used for genral purpose or a specific task?

 

[Bryan 2530]

Going to be used for water testing, community relations, shellfish stocking, I also may be able to use it for my classes on the water and in the shop.

 

[Brent]

Outstanding! Congratulations!!

I have an Aunt and Uncle who live in Old Saybrook.
I'll tell them to keep an eye out for your boat.

ditto

I can send a donation for motor just post the details

ditto to Classic Parker to offset expenses

 

[Bryan 2530]

She is finally in.

Temporarily with a 25hp motor, runs pretty good in the river.

 

[Megabyte]

Awesome looking work platform.
It'd almost be a shame to get her dirty.

Are you taking donations for her motor since the 25 is temporary?

 

[Brent]

excellent workmanship

Will it be named?

I can send a donation for a motor

 

[Bryan 2530]

Actually the motor is not my responsibility at this point but I'll let you guys know if there is any kind of donation being set up.

Some pics from today.
