As someone with a basement chock full of work in process, I have the utmost respect for anyone that can carry that project on for so long and actually finish it! It's quite an impressive achievement, for sure.
I still have my 1969 Nova from when I was in high school, gradumatated in 1988, got the car when I was 16... it's a giant pile of rust and every year for the past 24 years I say I'm going to do something with it...
Well done. Well done, on a magnificent job of usable (and possibly the most enjoyable) piece of art.
I have always liked the old chris craft and hand made wooden canoes but this wooden pontoon boat is simply awesome,what an accomplishment.Hope to see it in person some day.
Oh, that was prior to starting my subscription so I went back and read the article. Nice job Wooden Pontoon! I especially love the picture of the work you did on the pontoon, the contrasting colors & design are a work of art.
Dan you might be interested in a friend I meet up at our lake. His name is Adam and he is only in his 20's. He is an engineer at Taylor Made but his passion is wooden boats like Chris Craft. He designs them on the computer and makes them entirely from raw wood including bending the wood. He takes care of my boat and seadoo and stores them in his storage shed. He and his wife are great people and they have become good friends of me and Kathy. Here is a link to his website http://reetsboatworks.com/
