Sean,
I know, I'm visiting his website and his forum at least twice a day. But I'm anxiously waiting for my own plans. Anne send them out 8 days ago. Good luck with your built!!! In the meantime I'm trying to get as much informations and ideas about Easy's as I can get.
Jochen

just finished my high build yesterday took 7 hrs to highbuild the entire boat, now i just have the ardous task of sanding it all back, i have sanded one hull now and it has come up schmick with only 23 pinholes to be filled however im thinking of buying an 8 inch fixed orbital to knock the top of everything and then going to my 6 inch ro as the first hull took 6 hrs to sand and theres an awful lot more boat to sand

Well a big heartfelt congratulations to you Sean, you must be stoked
What a great feeling it is when they go in and what a sickening feeling it is when they are swinging in the air.
Well done
Dave

yes i must admit that i felt a bit sick as the crane lifted it, that whole wondering if i got a dodgy batch of resin, mixed it wrong etc etc, however there were no mysterious soundsand it nearly went ithout hitch, the crane driver was supposed to use a spreader bar but when he arrived didnt have one, and when he picked it up his crane was slightly off centre swinging the boat into the shed and putting a small 5 cent piece sized dent in it(however it didnt break the paint) other than that it went without hitch, it is bloody terrifying driving into a marina for the first time,i realized just how big it actually is) im going to have to find someone who can give me a few lessons i think

Good on you Sean. You need to change your profile now! She looks great. I expect you'll be doing a shake down cruise down this way soon. I'll buy in some extra sandpaper! (Maybe some beer too)
