I'd say so. I'd love to see what you could accomplish with my Harbor Freight 7x10.

Holy shit. And I mean that in a good way.

Been waiting for this to show up for a while now. Looks like it's going to ship soon. Got it from a member on PB.

I could be wrong, but I think Hondo first initiated that style of scoop. I've always liked them.

Not close Bob Warren was making them as early as 58 to 60 I have one of the original on my Hurricane flat .They where. Done in a 2 piece wood mold then and then glassed together and finished to match I worked with Bob Warren here for 15 years and obtained the current scoop from him. They where a lot of different versions just like the bucket seats still around they where made from a oil barrel cut down and formed into seat Thanks Wild Bill

he must have sold about 4 of them. Can't say I ever remember seeing one prior to Panic Mouse on a boat.
My guess is that Scott had a jump on them all when they were casting them in aluminum. Who built the first glass one is anybody's guess.

Are you going to run her this summer? Or just set her aside until you're done?

The floors and transom are as done as they are going to be for now. It's going together this week and I'll pull it back apart after summer to finish the all the glass and gel work.
