I would not go so far as to say that it is ugly, but what I do think is cool is that you put forth some effort to make it! :D 5 stars :)

When I was a kid my dad took me to the Presidents Cup Regatta at Haines Point in Washinton D.C.
My favorite class was the SK and SS runabouts but the jersy skiffs were SO fun to watch ! ...thanks for the opinion misslemud ..I like the skiff ! :D Oh I started this whole thing because I am going to work on the hull bottom this winter and I want to practice with glass some first eek!

I always thought a mail box would make a cool scoop. Maybe hook up the door to vacum. When you mash the gas the door opens. eek! eek! eek!

A lot of drag racers in Maryland used to use paper boxes for scoops, looked sorta cool with "Daily Times" on the side.
