Doing well Tengals. Still trying to work out a plug fouling issue on my boat but in the mean time here is a picture of one of the fruits of my few times out since I got back on the water.<br /><br />Taken from Tillamook Bay, Oregon, USA<br /><br />

Re: My goal was accomplished-off topic

Tengals,<br /><br />Nice pics. You must be very happy.<br /><br />Did the magazine article regarding your boat rebuild ever get published? I'd love to see it.<br /><br />Based on my time here at iboats, your project still ranks #1 on my list; especially with the amount of detail and time you invested into documenting each step.<br /><br />Having time to use your boat and reflect back, is there anything you would change or do differently if given the opportunity to start over?

Re: My goal was accomplished-off topic

Thanks AMD, yeah it has been published, the 2nd issue just came out this week. I have finished the photoshoot for the final phase and believe it may get front page.<br /><br />You can order it it's called Power Boat (AUSTRALIAN)<br /><br />you'll need the sept./oct/ issue<br />and the nov/dec issue.<br /><br />I would change a few things. Dash space is very limited, the bucket seats were to big for the boat (tight squeeze through), the rear lounge should have been made fully removable for fishing.<br /><br />cheers and thanks again.
