This is the fourth volume in a series of journals detailing my experiences building a 43 Foot Trawler in the backyard. This is my personal journal of the trials and tribulations I encountered during the construction of the Molly B. It was my dream to own a boat my wife and I could live aboard and these journals explain how I went about accomplishing that dream. It wasn't an easy task and it took me almost 12 years to complete my project but I did finally complete and launch the Molly B and now we are living our dream on the water.
