Well this thread has been quite the voyage. My first post was on April 27, 2021 and yesterday Aluminiferous was home in her berth.
This build thread took 314 days, or 10 months 8 days from the start to finish.
I am lucky to have a great partner in life, who is always game for adventure and agreed to this build. Everything in the design that is tasteful, colour coordinated or looks well thought out had Susan's input. I think that the build was the success it was because Susan was involved every step of the way, and quite frankly most people would rather deal with Susan than me. I know I would.
A final tip of the hat goes to Reel Slim for his thread who's thread introduced u s to Robert's amazing boats , to our builder Robert Jackson at JaxonCraft, to everyone at Breakers Marine, Jeremey (Mr. 200), Sarah (Manager Part, Accessories Service as well as high maintenance customers like me)., and Clay (Mechanic par excellence) , our new friends Doug and Robert, Gavin at SeaComm, Tanis at Shockwave, Mark Ralston, at Van Isle Marine Surveyors Ltd. and everyone here on this thread that gave commentary, suggestions and participated in the thread. If I have forgotten to thank anyone my apologies.
And I can't forget Johnny and his replacement Billy the Beagle. The JaxonCraft Shop Dogs extraordinaire. I will post up a photo of Johnny later today.
Last night sleeping in her berth
