Well, I finally finished the "Honker" and I must say that the boat
was a lot of fun to build. As you can see I made a few modifications to the
plans. I did not lean the front coaming forward at 45 degrees as called for in
the blue prints because I made a locking storage compartment under the deck,
and I did not like how the front coaming hung out over the clasp.
I took the boat out this last weekend and it performed great, despite the fact that it only had a 9.9 on it. I have attached a few additional pictures of the completion and the maiden voyage. Thanks again for answering my stupid questions along the way.
