When I first saw the initial post about my "rule breaking" I obviously wanted to spout off and give my piece of mind. I took a long deep breath and decided that spouting wasn't the right thing to do. Instead I sat back, read and observed everybody elses comments. I just wanted to thank Mike and you others who seem to look at the big picture and make some common sense decisions on what's right or wrong. Have I broken a RULE? yeah I probably have. I build 2 maybe 3 boats a year as a hobby. I work full-time for an Airline in Seattle and am a Naval Reservist in Whidbey Island.....I'm not getting rich selling boats! I build them because I enjoy it and because I think I can provide a product for people like all of you in here that will better your outdoor experience. If I ruined this forum by posting one of my boats, I apologize. My experience on forums though has taught me that they get ruined by threads just like this one, people bashing each other online. If you'd like to talk to me about this or about my boat, feel free to call me.
