Hi @Drop Bear @Panther
Sorry about the slow reply.
The boat got picked up late Friday. I am really happy with it now.... I was not 100% happy initially.
It was solid but the welds were rough/chunky. I wish I had taken a 'before' photo.
What you see is after it is all cleaned up. I took to it with a flap disc and made it all look neat, ensured there were no sharp edges and made all the surface look uniform. Now it looks good.
For $250 I am happy but it would have been nice to be perfect off the bat.
I should add, I did push the guy to finish it on a Friday afternoon so maybe it got rushed.
