What an absolutely beautiful job on Smuggler!! Congratulations and thanks for a great build log, it will be very helpful as this could very well be my second build. The support you received from the members here and from the Bluejacket folks themselves during the build is reassuring. The solid hull concerns me, but hey, I get to buy some new tools, gouges and chisels, a secondly, I need the experience with a solid hull. I have a Wye River Bugeye I picked up at a thrift store a few months back that I was contemplating it as a second build, but I'm afraid she's going to have to wait a bit longer, probably quite a bit longer!  Tim

Brian, thanks for the great documentation of this incredible build! I have been sitting on this same model for over 10 years! Finding this blog/website and seeing what you did, has inspired me to dust off the box and get started! I only hope I can produce results as good as yours! Looking forward to seeing your next build!
