It`s been quite a few years since I`ve visited this site . Great to see that Sandy kept this wealth of information going for us rookie boat builders. It`s been about 12 years since I completed my HD and have been enjoying it ever since , 10-12 times a year. Haven`t done any refinishing since the initial build , but it`s getting close to an enjoyable winter time task. The only rework that was needed was to rebuild the rowers seat that split on one side , thanks to my 225#. I reinforced the
the seat sides with anodized .125 aluminum and that did the trick. Thanks again Sandy, keep up the fine work and you guys enjoy your build because your going to miss it when your done.
