Thanks, and yep its my first wooden boat. Not sure on color though, thinking maybe green tub with black sponsons. Any ideas on graphics?

Be sure to bring the video camera & someone to film it on her maiden voyage.

No offense but I'm not a football type of guy :D

It's okay. Can't blame me for trying. lol
I just think the fact that it's electric, with the lightning bolts, ya know...

Well here she is, she's ready to hit the water(hoping to go tomorrow). I still need to do some minor finishing things. For my first wood boat I'm very happy at the way it came out.

[Diegoboy]

Wow! She looks good.
Congratulations on your first build. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!:D

I think I may bust out the plans I have in the closet for the Yellow jacket rigger this fall :).

Thanks Diegoboy. I ran her today for about 5 minutes before the chop became too much. I am very happy with it. I need to level the strut out a little, the stern keeps trying to come out of the water completely.
