You've done a grand job there. And, if that's your first attempt at woodworking, I'm amazed! It's something to be proud of

The nearest suitabke lake or pond to me is miles and miles away lol, the main reason i havent had any boats before now  Ive had her in the bath but its only twice as long as the boat so it starts going just starts to get a tad of speed and hits the other side  The othe rhalf is not far off passing her driving test so hopefully it wont be too long before she will be in real water
