Been wanting to build a classic style fishing boat for years, looked at a couple of premium custom boat builders to have it done but costs were more than astronomical, building it at home requires a huge amount of space and shop equipment along with several years of time so I had pretty much just decided on an off the shelf fishing boat. One particular style of custom boat has been stuck in my mind for years and low and behold strictly by accident I found a furniture maker in Nags Head, NC that builds basically the same boat by hand in his shop for a somewhat reasonable price.Began working with him by phone and email this week and a super nice guy producing some amazing work. I will be travelling to Nags Head in the near future (no not the one I wake up with every morning the one in North Carolina to meet him in person and look at his work in person. Should be able to get the project completed just about the time I get relocated to SC. Funny, the design is from a 1970's boat called a "Willy Boat" made down in the FL Keys so the design will look great behind the '78 Land Cruiser.I am excited!Sounds like everything is starting to come together, hope this guy does some good work on your Willy.He is quite the Willy Woody Maker! Perhaps he can make me a humidor (with feet on it of course) to go with the boat.Yeah, feet are essential. Speaking of which, where's Shaun been?Chip, too. Shaun's been on FB, so I know he's still around. Haven't seen Chip here or there in quite awhile. Hope everything's ok.

Shaun's been on FB, so I know he's still around. Haven't seen Chip here or there in quite awhile. Hope everything's ok.I talked to Chip a couple of weeks ago, times are still really rough for his family and he has had some medical issues himself also but hanging in there. He plans to be back when things settle down a little.
