I've welded quite a few too. But would like to see the longer continuos weld and welds for a larger patch 20" x 30" and the like (Prelude).
Yep you are on target with the thought for the girl. She is just a tad too small for an full on OC and has a dislike for skirts so figuring a semi OC (Taureau-ish build) would work - pad it out, add a pump and it would rock for her. Keep it on the cheap while she builds some confidence then let her find her way!
Have any playboats that have a good top section that can be can opened and used as the "turret" as Sir Adam would call it? LOL
