Awesome. Where are all the naysayers now that said it wouldn't float? Looks like it sits well in the water. Congratulations on a job well done!

Dan, it's truly amazing and beautiful. I'd use the word 'awesome' except it's so worn out. Ican't describe how impressed I am. What a job you've done. I'm a woodworker myself and I just can't imagine such an undertaking. It's the most impressive piece of woodworking skill I've ever seen! Congratulations. It's beautiful.

VERY nice. 3000+# and floats like a cork.

Congratulations. Can't wait to see it up close this weekend.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! It was a wonderful feeling to have her sitting on the water as the trailer was leaving the ramp. Sure was a long time coming.

This October will be 12 years since I started the designing. I actually started construction the following Janruary. It certainly has been a long time!

Perfection, i cant imagine that Carnival,Disney,or any other cruise ship designer could compare to the PRIDE you must have felt at the moment you started to back away from the trailer!! THANK YOU for all the pictures.

Thanks again for the compliments on the boat and the launching. I appreciate everyone's interest in her.

Yes, she is named 'All Spruced Up'. (Her outer hulls started life as Home Depot spruce 2x4s)

My sister made a slide show with audio from my launch day. I was touched to say the least. Thought I'd share it with everybody.
