- I do everything, such as detailed boats.
- Repair boats with a work order, with the customer telling me what he believes is wrong with it
- Use tools such as all ratchets, wrenches, power tools, grinders, table saws, and hand saws.
- Engine pulleys and A frame for pulling out motors directly from the boat
- Winterize boats, get them ready for storage in the winter
- Painting outbraves and other components carefully to make the eye love what the customer is getting back.
- Most of the motors we put into the boats are actually car motors.
- 454 big blocks, V8s, Hemis, 6 cylinders, and 4 cylinders
- I do tons more, but I am most definitely not a master yet; I work hard
- See something once, and do it the exact way.
- Never leave a job unfinished, or question if it's done correctly, before sending it back out on the water
