The Puget Sound Power company was doing a transformer install on the Elliot's property. A few of the guys came over and looked at the boat with interest. They asked if they could do anything to be part of the ship building. I said "Yep, I need the engine put in the boat." They said if their crew gets the next job in the back they will put 'er in. A few weeks went by and they showed up and got 'r done. Truly a ship builders milestone ! |
