    Strap eye? What purpose?

    Got it finished

    I started this project last year in August. It's been in the water for a few months now. It turned out pretty well. Learned a lot in the process. Thanks to all of you gents who answered questions, gave advice, and some needed motivation at times. Now I'm looking for a 16' to go to work on!
