Salmon, halibut, shrimp, king crab, and those feelings we get for our boats are very real. Non-maritime folks would have a hard time understanding. Gorgeous work dear friend!!! You know the deal.

Truly extraordinary dedication to the cause of motorboat renovation. Well done Richard and thank you Nick for cataloguing this incredible build.
