Starting the AA Broadbill project

When the weather starts getting cool in the mornings, the projects don't stop coming. Remade the blind on my big boat. Went a lot lower profile than the original which also allowed me to make the top opening much smaller. Also made a removable rain roof that is not in the photos. Took about 3 days of sewing, measuring, sewing, measuring,... Glad it is done as the old blind was 20 years old and needed to be replaced many years ago.

Now if I can just find the time to carve some new decoys......

took some time but finally put it in the water. the 25HP is WAY too much power for it. I would much rather have a 9.9 or 15 on the back but sometimes you just have to go with what you have. the little 25 was pushing 30mph and if I could have got the trim right I think it would have picked up another few MPH. Cruises nicely at about 15MPH and the Evinrude seems to like that pace as well.launched.jpg
