"AYE DOCK" Boat Build

I decided to build a unique boat for my wife. (Diane) It had to be so special she would want to have friends over for a sunset cruse, conversation and a glass of wine. Here is the story of "Aye Dock." Aye Dock was given to the Veterans as a donation and sold at auction in 2018.

    All the fittings came in form Glen L marine in California. I purchased the Lo Volt plans from them and posted on a forum so others around the world could give advice on the build. It was about this time I spoke with Mr Whitt the Navel architect who designed the boat. This particular design of the boat had never built before. He assured me it would float and others around the world were now watching.
    The rudder was cast for the boat at the Glen L foundry. Glen L was also working on the strut since it had to be made also. This is the mock up of the keel section. I made an exact duplicate of the boat to make practice holes and figure things out before committing to the actual boat.
    The strut came in and was positioned in place on the mock up. Now I was ready to design the electric motor hook up to the shaft.
