Just thought I would give a short introduction on myself. I have lived in Central Oregon for the last 32 years, I am a self employed cabinet shop owner and have built six wood boats so far over tha least several years. I am currently building a center console 21'4" Toman Widebody (boat # 7) and it is nearing completion. I would guess I have maybe at most 60 hours left including painting and wiring.
I am considering building a 28' GA for my next project so I thought I would join this forum, I have the same name on fishyfish.com. I currently fish off shore from a 30' Grady White which is a fantastic fishing platform and I absolutely love the boat. The only problem is besides the 1nm per gallon in fuel is there is nothing like spending a day on the water just crusing around or having a successful day of fishing in a boat you built yourself. The sence of pride is outstanding and you just don't get that satisfaction in a boat you buy pre-built. Believe me I have a lot of pride owning a Grady but its just not the same.
I won't make a finial decision until the end of this fishing season on building a 28' GA
