Way to go Dave. Thanks for documenting your launch! The pictures of the kids were great. You can see how much fun they were having out on the boat with their Dad.

I have mentioned this before, but you can download image re sizer from here and it is easy and works well. This is also freeware

we don't shoot them here. They usually sleep on a fence or low down in trees, and you just sneak up on them and hit them on the head with a big heavy stick. Lots of fun when they all wake up at once and your'e among them. Shit really does happen

Happy belated Steve.
Steve's pics and blog was the first info I found and entirely responsible for my switch from planning to build a alloy boat to building  a Tolman.

Is that a special forces Tolman hat?

Great job brook

Congratulations Dave!-  Looks like everyone had a great time.

My Jumbo floats like a leaf on a pond and the wind can really blow you around fast.  Makes it tough when you're on a paddy with other boats and you're being blown through the crowd....drift socks are your friend for sure.

Good luck with the fishing and be safe-looking forward to the tuna reports.

Same problems here on docking with any wind.  These cabin Jumbos are so light and have so much windage, they really move around at the slightest breeze.

Patience and a good rub rail are my helpers on this.

Hey Dave got a question did you modify the beam width or side height from spec? If I remember correctly your in the 27' range +- what's your finial length? 4 mpg is fantastic, sure beats the heck out of a Grady praying for 1mpg got to love a Tolman

Hi Kim -

Right now I have another customers boat in my shop and will likely be another few months before it is completed. 

When you are ready to build, let me know.  I might have room available.
