    This is close up of the motor on the mock up bench as it was finally competed. Keith and I would need to take it off the mock up and place it exactly into the boat.
    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.
