Wondering if anyone out there has begun working on a Rhode Runner? I am just getting started on one.

&nbsp; &nbsp;Hi Ed,

I've been wondering the same.&nbsp; Where are you located?&nbsp; I'm on the fence about building one for my 4th build.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp;Hey Chris,

I am in San Antonio, TX. This is my first build, so I kinda jumped into the deep end. So far I have epoxied all the frame doublers, and will soon begin the puzzle joints and scarf joints.

&nbsp; &nbsp;Ed,&nbsp;

Long ways from me in Indiana.&nbsp; Keep us updated!&nbsp;

What are you doing for a windshield?&nbsp; Thats what killed my enthusiasm for being one of the first to order the kit was the after-thought looking windshield brackets of the prototype.&nbsp; I think these Rhode Runners would look great with a wooden frame windshield similar to a Lyman or something else more creative than chrome plated brackets that are getting harder and harder and more expensive to find all the time.&nbsp; For anyone thats built up a windshield like that from scratch and a napkin drawing they know how much work and trial and error it is.&nbsp; I think with CLC's capabilities, a CNC cut wood windshield framework option would be the way to go.&nbsp; I have no idea if they are working on such a thing or not but if a tasteful option was offered it would put me over the edge to buy the kit for my next boat.&nbsp;

Looking forward to seeing more of these built and how people customize them.&nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp;Maybe thats a little harsh but cant go back and edit it.&nbsp; Perhaps I just need to be able to see the finished one in person.&nbsp; At least they offer the brackets with the kit so you dont have to source them when going that route.&nbsp; I'm sure it looks fine in person.&nbsp;
