Present boat took five years to build and that includes having to change contractors, as my Dad (was the OEM) died two years ago. In the interim, I found a buyer for my GR 50 custom cat, which was easier to do, than I thought. I should have done that for a living! 
Next one is going to be steel or aluminum

Welcome aboard, take a look around and if you tell us where your are I'm sure you'll get advice about a tri in your neighborhood.
