Finally got the other plates on.
It's been a really bad couple of weeks as we lost our dad recently. He got us into these flatbottoms, he raced them from the mid 60's to the mid 80's, we skied behind flatbottoms and grew up around them. This is him towards the end of his career in his Comp Flat Hondo - we're going to miss him a lot.

Tim.....
Sorry to hear of your loss and please accept my condolences, this has to really suck. Hang in there and continue to trudge onward through your build.
Mine build is getting close too.
Got the Ford "Dump Truck" motor in, now I'm trying to fit everything into the hull with some sort of semblance to a Dragboat. Ha!
Nice call on the Flat Black powder coating! Nice!
They told me it would float!

Art - Sorry I haven't responded sooner and thanks for the kind words. The motor is looking great! Do you have a build thread going on here? If not you really need one, most of us only dream of putting together a brand new flat! Keep up the good work and keep us posted. Originally Posted by hyperpasta

Thank you. It hasn't been easy to keep working on the boat lately because of all the memories but I keep plugging away. Hopefully he'll like it when it's finished. Originally Posted by Mrs.K034
