This is one of the most beautifully designed boats I've ever seen. A true work of art.
Very nice shots thanks for posting.
She is a beauty, and so is the Chris Craft docked next to her.
That is one pretty boat, and you did it justice. And the meticulously coiled line alongside the double half-hitched cleat shows true boatmanship, too; you were right to include it.
The woodwork and finish show pride of ownership to me. Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful boat! And photographs.
That is one gorgeous looking boat.
Great shots of a beautiful boat. Mail Order Bride is appropriate probably takes all his time and money to keep it happy and beautiful.

Have seen a lot of wooden vessels but none like this. Thanks for posting KT.
If you ever get down to Louisiana there is a wooden boat festival held every year in Madisonville, La. I think it is in October every year. They have vessels that come from as far away as Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. They have run a bouts and some up to 70' - 80" in length. Check my Flickr link below to see some of them.
