Oh geez, you would have to ask those two questions. You're making me think use my memory, ARRRGH!!! THAT HURTS THE HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, let me see:

• 1982, built my first boat, a Dumas sport 20 Pay'N Pak. Boat was a barge, being that it was overweight, under powered and not well built
• 1986, built my second boat, a Dumas sport 40 Atlas Van Lines. Like the Pak, it was a barge and, even thought I followed the directions to the letter, it was still improperly built for a race boat.
• 1988-1993, built 5 scale boats, all destroyed by the ex-wife before getting them on the water
• 1994-1996, helped convert or restore several 1960s vintage full size unlimiteds.
• 1997-2000, started working on a 1991 Miss Madison and later converted into a 1999 version. Due to money issues, it's still waiting for a custom sized cowl(tried to go too scale so off the shelf parts won't work) as well as the deck being installed.
• 2008(?), bought and started restoration of a Fiberglass 1978 Circus Circus
• 2011, built the 1973 Pak linked to earlier in this thread, ran it for the first time July 2nd of that year in Evansville Indiana, started a 1985 U-8 Executone
• 2015, bought the Elam raced 3-8 times per year since, not counting 2019 or 2020
• 2016 to present, working on a replacement wood hull for the Elam, two scale 1973 Pay'N Paks, 2009 Oh Boy!! Oberto and a gas scale 1978 Miss Madison
• Since 1994, I've helped build several other boats with other people, several of which have raced

I know I've missed some boats along the way but I also know I've spent a lot of time since 1983 picking brains and being a total pain in the neck to several people on what to and not to do when building boats. I'll be the first to say I don't know everything and also the first to admit I'm still learning. One other thing I will also say is my first boats, including the 5 the ex-wife destroyed, were not well built. Many of the parts didn't fit properly or were jury-rigged to work. My later boats have all been night and day improvements when it comes to fit and finish, meaning they will hold up where the early boats wouldn't have.
