My dodger arrived today from Dave Clark and I couldn't be more satisfied with the way it fit and looked on the boat..........another step closer to the launch party:):)

Charlie you have really set the mark!!! Every set of pictures brings the boat closer to completion. Whats next ...motor? When's the launch party, those will be some pix we'll all want to see. Thanks for sharing the build with us. Dodger looks great

Charlie,

Looking better every post. I have not seen pockets like that before, maybe I've missed them in the past. They look like they will be a nice touch.

Excellent work by the both of you! She's sure looking a true duck huntin' machine. Thanks for the pics...now I'm jealous:)

What a way to put icing on the cake. Can't wait for the pictures of mud and blood on the decks.

That sure is one nice boat! You've outdone yourself.

Charlie, You sure have raised the bar with this one. Beautiful boat! Makes me want to run away and hide but I couldn't hide like yours will.

Charlie,

Looks good, it has been a while since the build of such a well executed boat has been detailed here. There aren't a whole lot of boats in that class, I can count them on two hands.

When you are ready for a repaint you need to learn how to push that FME so you don't overwork it and get the shiny spots. Work fast on a cool, high humidity day out of the sun for starters.

Nice work.

Outstanding work Charlie!! (and Dave)
You set the mark very high,
John

You're going to love that boat Charlie. Looking forward to the launch pics.

Charlie, I will definitely try to make it there,you are a shoe-in to win you're class.
I was a member for some years, then it got too political for me.

Charlie,

The boat looks great, I can't wait to see it up close. I'll see you at the SSWA show. We should get some space for other guys from this forum. I'll start a new thread to see who is coming.
