Looking amazing! I wouldn't have the heart to sell it. After putting the amount of hours and dollars into it that you have it would kill me to let it go and not get the use and enjoyment and investment out of it. Just my thoughts though. I do know I can get emotionally attached to things i.e. my house and boat, both of which I've rebuilt and will have a tough time selling.
 
He probably has a deal however will he lower his standard of workmanship to maximize profit? Days of our Houston 26 will continue tomorrow! Like Soap opera already...

One of the guys on the Striper forum used Coosa board - a composite - rather than plywood when he did a transom repair/replacement. Thought you might be interested...
