Weldcraft: Building "Great White"!

[Nelly]

Hey Nelly how long before the Salmonhawk says that white color is a cougar color? By the way, nice job on the boat, very cool to see it come together..

Not even my colorblind compadre' could spin white into "not right"...
Now, we continue with the regularly scheduled build program... already in progress!

Out of the Paint Booth and into the rigging shop!

I just heard that the Evinrude outboards have just arrived at the WELDCRAFT factory in Clarkston, Washington.

Visions of the Resurrection Derby in December are dancing in my head

Windows, rear station controls, engines and a trailer??!!!

Weldcraft is busting a serious move on this 280 Cuddy King build! It's been a kick to post these pics and I'm just thrilled to see how fast that things are heading to completion!

The second station main and kicker controls are placed EXACTLY as I had asked & envisioned.

Getting this boat over to this side of the mountains before Thanksgiving from the Weldcraft factory in Clarkston, WA is looking like a real possibility now!!

That's a really nice boat for sure! Lots of fishing room and will serve great for all of your fishing needs all around the State and Sitka!

It will be difficult to find you out on the water with that "stealth" color compared to the red one!

[Chef Patrick]

That is a thing of beauty.
Blackmouth Beware!
