And a fine job all around. The Big Guy building and Heidi carrying same.

You do good work. Show what working with your hands for a living can do for you. Beautiful boat, indeed!

Nice job I wish you many happy hours rowing her.

**ken mcclure** · 06-09-2003, 06:05 PM

Looks like the pointy end is going the right way! Good job!!!!!

**J. Dillon** · 06-09-2003, 09:07 PM

Looks great Bob.

Good rowing with her.

Have you got a name picked yet ?

thanks everyone! gonna be called the "Lea Annette" after my wonderful daughter. actually ken i had planned to have the pointy thing going the other way but swmbo said it would look funny and probably not row well. she's usually right! whoops, she's always right! i'm working on the daggerboard and rudder now and the mast and sail next.

Bob,

Way to go, a lot more encouragement for me. Will read Rich Kolin's book again tonight.

Loverly...not a marshmallow in sight, and rightly so.

**JimD** · 06-10-2003, 10:48 AM

Great job, Bob. I forget the design. Just needs a rear view miror on the square end pointed forward so you can see where you're going. Now how long before you get lazy and clamp a trolling motor on the transom?

**Ken Hutchins** · 06-10-2003, 12:07 PM

Looks Grrreat

**bob goeckel** · 06-10-2003, 12:18 PM

trolling motor my a......! i got bigger plans:

**Mr. Know It All** · 06-10-2003, 12:47 PM

Way to go Doc. [img]smile.gif[/img] She's beautiful.
Peace---> Kevin in Ohio

Wow, what a nice ride! Good job!

Forget the rest of the stuff you were gonna put into the boat; she looks just beautiful as is. Instead, splurge on a great bottle of wine, the usual picnic fare, and someone to play some nice violin music from shore, then add one Mrs. Goeckel sitting contentedly in the stern and it all sounds like perfection to me. Motor definitely not necessary! [img]smile.gif[/img]

(Actually, that sounds better and better the more I think about it. What should I start working on first guys? The woman or the boat? Or, does that sound too much like the classic "What would you rather have? Hot woman or hot car?" kind of question?

For any of you who don't know the standard answer, it's "That's easy. If you've got a hot car (or boat?), you can always get a hot woman!")

OK, sorry for whatever kind of moment you call that...anyway, whose design is that boat? It certainly is lovely.

**bob goeckel** · 06-11-2003, 10:02 AM

you actually used the term Mrs. Goeckel and contented in the same sentence? ROTFLMAO

actually we spend 24/7 together, 25 years so far. she's my BEST FRIEND!!!! all my other friends are here cause i got a pickup truck.

here's what she looks like after she put's on the makeup:

**bob goeckel** · 06-11-2003, 10:05 AM
