I'm moving into my new house tomorrow. All the big things are already moved in we just need to unpack ( what a pain in the @$$!!!!!!!). And I told the ole lady that I'm fishing all weekend so I will start working on the boat here in the next week. I can't wait to get started back on it
Sounds like you have your priorities straight. Also props for "telling" the ole lady you are going fishing. Too many wussie guys these days "ask" their ole lady. 
Good luck on the move!

Blue thanks for the well wishes on the move. We are now officially moved in,we went to Lucky Oyster tonight for half off raw bar and then stopped at my brothers who 4 miles from me. It's good to be close to my family and also enjoy some old hang outs!!!!! I will start working back on the V on Friday, so pics to follow soon!

Oh..Mr BIG BALLS, HUH??...OH WAIT...yes...looking toward Lex...I can see 'em from here!!...
Kracker...I haven't been on a whole lot lately...yer comin right along, specially w/a MOVE in the mix...yeoow!...you've added some weight, I imagine, cuz like Ridge says, beefed up to YOUR specs and that's a good thing...Propping is gonna be most important to gettin' all there is to get from the 135...do you know the max RPM range OMC spec'd on that motor...your prop should allow that RPM w/a light load and no wind for best performance and fuel economy...she sure lookin' GOOD!!...

Well I got itchy tonight fellas!!!!! Did some grinding on the gunwale rail getting it ready for glass. I'm gonna be glassing the rail Friday afternoon. Not to many pics I can take that you haven't already seen. I'm ready to get her done and ready for striper season! Blue you coming up to fish this year? Hopefully we will get that giant bluefin run again.
I sure hope so....but I must admit tho my regular crew has become weary after a couple of poor catching trips over the last 2 seasons. We got real spoiled there for about 6 or 7 years of wearing out the pigs. One of my friends who normally does the trip with us says he's not going back. Gonna be playing it by ear this season.

Bring it on fellas!!!!! We would have a blast. But blue I do understand what your saying about the fishing, 4 or 5 years ago the fishing was insane. You would catch your limit in no time.

I got a lot done this weekend. I got my outboard running this weekend for
some reason it didn't want to start.
I also got my 3/4 ply for my cap all shaped up and fine tuned and also glassed 2 layers of 1.5 csm on the bottom of the cap ply. I'm getting really excited to get this boat finished!!!
