1996 Blazer VL100 Restoration to Crappie Chaser

Thank you for all the great info throughout this whole boat build John. You are a Master Craftsman. It's very plain why your friends that bring you their boats to work on call you Mr. 100%. Very thorough in all the details. As my dad used to tell me growing up, "Do it right the first time, and you wont have to do it again". Well. Sir, You have it down to "Perfection". Your boat is flawless, and handles the way we all want our boats to be. I Thank you for the ride thus far, and thank you for all the insights on what it takes to rebuild a boat to be proud of.

That’s the very lesson I’m trying to teach my oldest daughter now “do it right the first time, and you won’t have to do it again.”

That's the good one. When getting down to the end of a project like this its so hard to fight your eyes just glazing over on the project's completion. In Sporting Clays competitions a strong finish is always necessary as most events are won or lost on the last two stations. So it is here too when I installed the Garboard Drain who would have thought to check to see if it held water before installing? Not me.

Good find. Those leaks can drive a fella crazy
