My daughter and I got her boat together in time for an August 16 launch at Wright's Lake, CA, our traditional launching spot for three boats now. Nice boat: quick for a "stubby," turns on a dime, immensely stable, huge cockpit accepts all comers.

More photos to come, but since I burdened this board with a lot of shots of mahogany runabouts earlier this summer, it seemed only fair to show ya how we did, using those old "woodies" for inspiration.

Happy summer paddling, while it lasts!
