Congratulations on the launch of a beautiful boat! Glad to hear that it handles and tracks as expected. (I also was amazed at how much better my fist S&G, a CLC17 handled compared to my Necky Looksha "tupperware" boat.)

Being a long time "lurker" on this board and a two time S&G builder, I laughed and identified with your van vs. SUV anology. I've had to let the "I wanna' learn more from the masters" overcome my intimidation that "I'll never be able to build something a elaborate as some of the strip built art pieces" (i.e., Kent B.'s recent pic...WOW)

My thanks to Nick and all others who share so generously and make this BB an incredibly supportive "neighborhood."
