I'm happy with my CDory but I would have thought twice about this one. Looks like a nice rig, good job

Wow amazing job, looks great, did you get the dings in the props fixed 😜😜, that boat ran the same river I did. Looks like a different boat well done, someone will be getting a nice boat
 
No more projects for me,I found out I'm a terrible estimater (time and materials) and getting too old and sore at the end of day. Brutus,the old dinged prop goes with the boat as a spare,new one on it now.I put more time and money into this one than ever before,should be good now for another 40 years.Just glad to see it go to a good home.
 
Good call and that plan is warranted but I really wanted to own a Rayvon boat one day.

I’m taking this with a grain of salt, “last boat I swear,” was three boats ago now I think lol
 
The commander ain’t going anywhere, except the back of my yard where I can keep plugging away at it or keep wiping the dust off it. This is a perfect replacement for my thunderjet, Rayvon did a great job on the boat, and most importantly its wife approved, very clean and comfortable to sit in.

That said if Rayvon ever wants another winter project and some company to listen to Spanish guitar music with…. I’m all in
