Nice pics - you definitely go the extra mile !

I was surprised to see you using Trojans as a measuring device - we used to use them for preventative measures

He shapes them from scratch then gets the glassed by a pro. Good way to ensure a quality finish n reduce mess !

Nice work Tux!

It just has a 8 inch fin box in it bro...going to see how it goes with one of the 8 or 9 inch greenough style flex fins...the rails are pulled a long way down so hopefully it all works like it should
