Elia Posted January 3, 2015 Share #308 Posted January 3, 2015 John, Little Francis is looking good. The planking looks nice and flowing. Sweet. I really like the flow of the upper strakes as they run aft, aside of the counter and to the transom. Really clean and smooth. Have fun up in the mountains - nice and refreshing!
