: Thanks Bill. I've got a new KF design strip boat in the early

Hi Kirk,

The picture is great! You both look like you are having lots of fun. As for 10 boats the answer is yes and that is no joke.
I found when I built the Redfish Parr for my daughter she had lots of fun for a short time but wanted to stay on the water with Dad much longer than her arms were ready for. I fixed that with a bow line so I could tow her. She thought that was a blast getting pulled around.
Have fun with them, they grow up so fast.
