Awesome work! Great story and it sounds like your son has good taste. I'll attribute that to a good upbringing.![]()

Your 9 year old saved the money for that? How awesome! Watch out, this kid is gonna make millions doing something.
Well done. Pass along to your son that the members here are very proud of him.

That is awesome! My 9 years old can't even hold onto $10 for more than a couple days.
Just out of curiosity, what did you make the boat out of?
We made the boat out of douglas fir plywood. Couldn't find marine grade anywhere around here so just bought the best we could find at local lumberyard.
Yea, I'm real proud of my boy. I was a real pos growing up, burning a lot of bridges and spending all my money with nothing to show for it. Finally grew up when I turned 30 and realized I didn't have anything other than a great woman and our kids. Determined that my kids weren't going to follow in my footsteps and changed my life and they have responded to it. Unfortunately my oldest boy was killed in a accident 3 years ago last May. He would have been 11 this September. This was a project my son and I did as a way to continue to work past all the shit that you go thru.
Oh man. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I couldn't imagine losing one of mine. Glad to see you and your family are pulling through it. Sounds like a great family you have there.
Its agreed the boy has taste, the blue strip would streamline it and give it atleast 4-5 extra hp. Its a good looking boat, conrats and have fun!
Also i agree with ginsue, tell him that now only are we proud of him but he should be as well!
