    Would it help to change/add a build date so that we can help you get started.
    If we wait till June to start a boat you might miss the 2017 battling season:crying::crying:

    It is a really good place to start and this group is always willing to offer an opinion or helping hand.

    I know we talked about it, I need to firm that up :) it'll depend on when I get together with Scott, I'm picking up a couple of ships from him, and I would really like to bring them with me to the build so I can take a good look into them.

    my son put in a very good argument as to why I need to bring him with, so he and i will be driving up ourselves. We're gonna head up on Friday (the 17th), as I've got friends in Grand Rapids so we're gonna stop and see them.

    I play and fix them up. Have 8 machines now. The latest acquisition sat for a long while so it'll take some work but it'll be up and playing here before too long.

    Very cool! I'll have to keep you in mind when I get stumped. Gorgar is a fun machine for sure.
