Godspeed to your son. My thoughts are with you and your family.
As someone who has also lost a child far too soon I will say the memory of your son and this day will never leave you. Despite the pain of loss you can and will find a way through what I believe to be the darkest of all human...

What's the plan for attaching upholstery?
I don't recall what you were doing for power, but I have seen on wood rear seats, a flange across the top of the...
No flappers, the tails have a pretty good slope up to the turbos. That said the ends do sit pretty close to the water at rest. Definitely going to need to anchor bow out anywhere I park or tie up.

For the last 8 years or so some dudes named Dog and Andy have hosted a v-drive only gathering on the Sacramento Delta to raise funding for the San Joaquin Sheriff's Explorer and Boater Safety Programs. I was in the area visiting my grandkids and had the opportunity to drop in to this years event...
Holy cow, those are some serious injuries. I am wishing for a speedy recovery.
It certainly won't be pain free or easy, but you guys got this. The same skills and attitude that got you this far in life will get you through this challenge.
