Great looking boat with a lot of custom work! Really comes out well as a finished product.

And I can sympathize with having a little one around, big impact on project progress.

That is a great looking FS17 and I too think the console and sole add a great look to a great build.
I hope we will see you out on the water.

Man you did a great job building your boat!
This may sound crazy but I met a fellow who came into my central Florida woodworking shop a year ago who had photos of a boat that looked a lot like yours.

Nicest looking FS17 I've ever seen. Wonderful design & work.

Have family up your way. Some in the restaurant business...some in the marine construction/dock business.

WOW!! Fantastic beautiful build!

What sheer line did you decide to go with? Low standard or raised?

Awesome build and right in my neck of the woods! If you don’t mind I’d like to come check it out. I’ve been looking at building a fs17ls set up as a flats style tiller boat.
