Re: [bolger] Fundraiser
I can tell you from the cartopping extravaganza here in Juneau, that the
cartopper is very good looking from any angle. It is 11'7', (at least the
one in the shop that is right side up is) S&G. Easily doable in 6 mo.

It's not a Bolger boat, but a stripper canoe is always impressive. They are
usually finished bright, aren't too hard to build, and are certainly good
looking.
