Some people start with a starter home, then as they build equity, move up to something bigger and better - you are doing it with boats... and they look awesome. Nice job!

How long did you spend on each project?

The hooker took us about 2 months.. didnt have any start up $ so we just chipped away at her

the Southern Eagle took about 3 weeks after we sold the hooker.. my husband built the house from scratch and I learned out to sand, paint and fiberglass to perfection real quick.. now I am ready for the Seacraft

I think at this point we are just going to build a slide on custom house (the console is in great shape) put in some swivel rod holders and install a custom wave wall and she should be good to go
