Thank you , prowlersfish , rws , matt .. I wanted to give up so many times but glad I stuck with it. Putting it and seeing it on water gave me extra energy to see it thru end. Still have to do lot of things on it but looking at it differently now . The only thing different I would do with next one is get survey right away and put it in water right away . It really opens your eyes as to what's needed right away and what could wait.
