Lovely work, moose. That is very impressive!      
All this boat stuff on the forum has sparked my interest in building one.

Kudos!  What a way to go.  I am awed too by the quality of the restoration.  My gosh, that's wonderful work!

Great job!! But that is a given with you at the helm it seems...

Was your paint match "type" of paint lacquer, oil or ...? I am going to need to touch up a Snipe heading this way in a few places.. the color should be doable- but I do not know what the original paint is...?

Also what did you make the boiler shroud out of - stainless, or mild steel sheet?

Amazing job, Mooseman. Your "client" was obviously well pleased. Maybe it's the
freshness of the job, but I think it looks even better than your own Snipe!
