You will like the boat, and he is a character. I used to see him once in a while at a ramp I use. He was always critical of my boat at the time, an AA Wigeon. I took it as a fun thing. I knew who he was)as far as making boats), but he didn't know that I knew. He also used to tell me to put the plug in from the outside because it didn't make a difference. When you meet him to pick up your boat, reach inside like you are putting the plug in if you remember and see what he says. You will laugh your butt off.
