Just finished painting my new love.
Glass bottom for checking out potential dive spots.
Now I have to finish the trim and put on the sail.
I hope to circumnavigate the island this summer.[/img]
Good for u~
I got some wonderful sunset pics in the north of TW while sailing last sunday.
I believe you will have a wonderful experience in summer.[/img] 
Really nice - you did that in your garage?
My father in law gave me a corner of his warehouse. At first he thought I was a nut case for wanting to build a boat. Now he wants me to build him one.
Cruisinglife, your picture links are broken.
Could you try to fix them.
Cheers

Thanks for the links David.
See you in the Taipei waters sometime, or your allways welcome down in Taidong, too.
Ha, what a small world, I joined the activities of taiwan-kayaker several times this year, and David, I think A-Su and me kayaked with you and your wife on the way back in Dong Ao trip ?
That’s a brilliant work, bobl, how’s ocean kayaking in Taidung ? perhaps there’s a chance to meet up next summer.

Great job bob! :bravo: :bravo: :bravo:
That’s a real nice looking boat. I take it you’ve built one before? Did purchase a kit? Plans?
I’ve never built a boat, but here’s one my brother built and a couple of salmon he caught from it in the Puget Sound, near Seattle.
Where are the cup-holders?
Just kidding…bobl its a great looking boat. And with glass bottoms…WOW!
Happy Boating to Ya!
Thanks for the compliments everyone.
Kevin, the sea is great down here, but a little rough right now.
MT, your brothers boat is great, and I’m getting hungry looking at the salmon. Sashimi Time. Can’t get fresher than that.
TC, I’ll put a cup holder in as well as a 12V cooler for you.
Started a new project, this time I will take pictures of the build process since my new cell has a camera.
The Goal:
