In my infinite wisdom, I told some kids if they did well in high school, and graduated with some pretty good grades, I would build them the boat of their choice. Well, one has called me out on it. Ashley Gresly. She is graduating this year and has maintained a pretty good GPA. And so the project began. She races 400CCMH or better known from the old name, 25MH. She wants a new boat to race, that fits the class better than the hand me downs she has currently.
I wanted to give a real big THANK YOU to Marc Johnson of MJR Composites for providing a complete set of plans to Ashley for a very minimal cost. With the plans Marc sent, Ashley was able to read the instruction manual, and know better what we were doing. She wanted to help build this boat. Thanks Marc. I think Ashley kept the instruction book under her pillow every night.
While still going to class, Ashley has been able to help on the boat at times. So I took some pictures of our progress.
I also want to thank Ashley herself for doing well in school, and sticking to it. I hope this boat provides you with a lot of opportunities.
I will try to post more pics as we progress along.
Hopefully some other kids can see this incentive and realize good things can come from your hard work and dedication to your goals. It is not easy, nothing worth while is.
