Fun was has by all!
"Green Turtle" cruises active year round.
At one of their favorite stops their bow takes some abuse.
Her owner Mark reached out to me for a custom sized tri-sided fender.
Looks a little odd, but protects the bow perfectly!
A Berkley 10 served as a perfect COVID project.
She was christened "Tugnacious" and currently cruises lake Peneda.
