"Semper Fidelis"
"Semper Fidelis" Means always faithful It is the Marine Corps motto, Always faithful to God, Country, Corps. I thought it would be a good name for my homemade boat,I spent 7 years in the Marine Reserve.I went many places and did many things.I hope this boat comes through for me as well as my fellow Marines did.I wanted a small boat to go fishing in. I knew I couldn't buy one outright and I certainly didn't want to finance one, so building a little at a time seemed the way to go!The wife (quite skeptical in my ability to build a boat) agreed readily "Sure,... You go right ahead and build a boat in the garage Honey" well here are the results of about 80 hours work I estimate $ 600.00-$700.00 in the hull.
My D-15 from www.bateau.com at the ramp at lake allatoona in Georgia. Looking toward the stern in about 118'of water at the dam.Trolling for Striped Bass about 30' down
looking toward the bow, you can see the storage under the bow step/seat.
