Thanks Mike, I'm glad you're pleased. This is the same boat that I did the build up pictorial on but for anyone who missed it here's the link- https://www.intlwaters.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=77

When you get to the gallery click on the "+" sign next to the word title in the header bar, it's puts eveything in order. Mike just caught me at the right time & was the first of a number of people to ask if I would sell it. No worries though as I've already started on my new Smokin' Joe's, the 1996 boat I was going to build back in 1999 but that became the 1997 Close Call instead. Hmmm, come to think of it Mike now owns that boat as well ........ B)

And BTW- the tilt trailer was not included, the new '96 Joe's will reside on that.

Now that's one that I figured would be in Dons stable for a very long time.

Mike,

you've got one heck of a nice boat there.

Speaking from experience,I also know Dons work is 2nd to NONE.

The best of luck to you with the SJ.

Can we get build pictures from that one as it goes Don ? I'm sure the NEW boat will fill that trailer quite well.

As requested I have started a build up gallery so you can follow along-

Remember to click on the "+" symbol next to the word title in the right side of the header bar. This puts the pics in the proper order as the build up progresses. B)
