Das Boot Floatzen

posted on May 23, 2010 at 8:38 pm

There’s the boat in the water today. As you can see, IT FLOATS! Unfortunately, the motor never did get going. I’m still considering this a victory. I built the boat, after all, not the motor. Received some kudos from passersby impressed with my craftsmanship.

Hopefully, I’ll have the problem with the motor worked out this week.

    Rock n roll! …figuratively of course. Wait, what?

    What a beautiful sight! I liked the part about “I built the boat not the motor”. I have never known anyone who built there own boat. I guess I can cross that off of my bucket list.
    you rock, Matt!
