Doug. Margaret Ann is beautiful. You are a craftsman for sure. The color scheme is gorgeous.
All done, what’s her weight? I am tempted to replace my Rib with an ARRIBA, but have two concerns. 1) weight. I like to keep the weight down whether on davits or laying on the bow. 2) beaching on rocky shores. What are your thoughts on keeping the weight down, still having the seating and storage while also having a bottom that can take the abuse. My ARRIBA will be a utility boat vs the masterpiece that Margaret Ann represents (acknowledging that you also built her to be tough). S
