Some meaningful finishing touches! If you have been following this build since post #1 you may remember that this was my dad's river boat before he passed. And for whatever reason I never called him Dad, he was always Pop to me!

Another little story. When I was just a kid we'd be sitting on the river bank with our poles in the water not saying much of anything, just enjoying the time and nature. But whenever a leaf would fall on him as we fished he'd always say, "Leaf Me Alone"!!! As a kid I about fell in the river the first time he said it!

So with all that said these are finishing touches!

And it's also worth mentioning that I got the boat to this point on father's day!
