I appreciate all the kind words! I've built a bunch of boats over thr years now and see them go, intake pride in what indo but it had kinda got to the point , it's just another boat. This one has been a bit of a challenge and I'm super pleased with how it's turned out.

It's for a friend that's just about family. We havnt even really discussed the labor yet. I've got roughly 150 hours in it now, probaly another 15 or so to wrap up.

Think I've got right at $9k in aluminum in it, probaly $1k in argon, welding wire, and various consumables like saw blads and grinding wheels. I've probaly got another $1k between stainless bolts and latches and a few of the various rigging things I've had to have during thr built to ve able to incorporate or cut the holes for. He took care of the motor and clutch, prop and all the associated stuff. If I had to build one trunk key, rigged boat motor and trailer I would guess it would be in the neighborhood of $80k or better even.

You didn't do any thing wrong with the pictures. You can only post 10 pictures per post. I just copied and pasted the remaining ones in two post.

Coolant runs though these keel.coolers that are built into the inside of the hull. I used the same 2x6 angle that I used on the gunwales I had to scribe them to the sides as this hull tapors in to thr stern. There's a cross over pipe to get from one side to thr other on thr stern. They are 7'6" long, with pipes and all its 10 plus gallons of coolant, it works well.
