"I just wish that you hadn't already put the name "Raven" on the transom prior to taking the pics. That way I could have forwarded some of them to my in-laws in Nebraska who thinks I'm nuts and show then how nice my boat is turning out." Doesn't sound like anything that Photshop couldn't fix....*LOL* Hope to get my new aluminum strips anodized this week. They are replacing the beautiful but high-maintenance teak strips that go around the companionway. www.todspages.net/images/LF-alumstrips.jpg.

What a difference a year makes. Raven looks absolutley beautiful and my hat's off to Rick for the outstanding results. Rest assured Rick, that when I make it above the waterline.....(notice I said when and not if!) I'll be bending your ear for some advice! The woodwork, new ports, and gelcoat are awesome. I just wish that you hadn't already put the name "Raven" on the transom prior to taking the pics. That way I could have forwarded some of them to my in-laws in Nebraska who thinks I'm nuts and show then how nice my boat is turning out. Oh well, guess I'll have to just keep glassing away.
