1974 22-2 rebuild newby no more

[eeldive]

Hello all,
Several years ago, (seriously), I posted a message about a 22-2 that was given to me by a farmer and his wife.  I lurked around this and other sites for quite a while then started cutting.  I have slaved over this project for a long time.  Early on I was also finishing my masters thesis so the boat had to take a back seat most of the time.  Long story short, I finished the degree in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences at UF, changed jobs and found some time(made some time) to get the thing done.  I have to say, this site was intrumental in my being able to finish it and the information on this site was invaluable.  I do apologize for not posting progress reports like many folks do but I would be more than happy to answer any question you have about the process.  I started this project having literally never laid glass in my life and I have now laid more galss than I could have imagined.  It has been a great learning process.  Anyway thanks to everyone here for your help, even if you didn't know you were helping!  Here she is, the Psycho-billy Cadillac.  All of you Johnny Cash fans know why I called her that! One peice at a time! I hope these pics work.

Looks great! That shear line with those colors really shows why we all love these hulls.
That is a heck of a first "recorded" post. Did you have another name when you posted about the farmer deal?
This one is kind of like "instant boat". Just add water and poof, there it is!
Come on lets see how you did it!
When you said Johnny Cash did you mean something like this?
