I started kayak fishing to get away from most of you...

Badass. Have you had it on the water yet Jim? How soon before we begin development on a drive like this (see below) so users can have reverse? No pressure man!

I've been here in PA a whole week now... so far we've only made a few good kayaks... working out the kinks in the mold.   Some of the flanges didn't fit right...  other parts needed adjusting.    I literally spent the entire night in this 40,000 sq ft warehouse all alone. Pulled my truck inside and camped here..   Worked on the mold until about 10 last night, welding, shaping, drilling...
 Finally learned how to tig weld aluminum !  University of Hard Knocks...   :smt044    Now if I can learn how to operate this new lap top... I'd post some pics.
  This is fun !  ( I think not )
   Parts all seem to fit perfectly,,, so must have done something right this time.
