    I plan to shoot at your hull from Tugboat if it's an Alaska. That may be my next target.

    It was a really nice looking mold, so the hull it produces should be first rate.

    Trust me, I will be posting pics as soon as I get started... The hull is huge! After working on that, going to the Duke of Edinburg mold is like, "dude, where's my boat?!"

    I can't wait to see the hull. I wish we had one ready to roll with the Courageous and Renown!

    I didn't fully appreciate how BIG Alaska is until I started laying fiberglass... It's fekkin' HUGE. I have the test hull, and 2 firm orders that I have to fill, things are going well. I'll post a pic as soon as I demold.
