Default What's your f/t job?

Just curious what mix of people we have around here.
What do you do for a living?

I work as a lineman for Verizon out of the Lynnwood yard.

This is yours truly

Hey Robert,

I used to design electrical systems when I worked for a local naval architect. I love boats! That one looks really good too. Oh, I was the engineering manager for a local electrical contractor but just left to for a firm in Atlanta as their senior project manager. Man, I still miss boats though.

I have spent the last 2 years restoring Dehavilland Beavers with a partner. The one we are just starting on isn't sold so we are kind of part-timing it till we find a buyer.

Here is the one we are about to deliver to the new owner.

Anybody know anyone with about $500,000 burning a hole in their pocket

The boats/yachts are pretty cool. I used to do the wiring/electrical, but the systems have got so complicated we have some dedicated electricians these days. Also, some outside contractors for some of the high end stuff, and they make some good $$. The engine room in the pics is Vic Edelbrock Jr's, the second boat we built him. The first engine RM we did for him, I did a lot of hot rod type detailing with SS, a great look that he really appreciated. This current ER, was more contempary. If ya ever come back this way, we are allways looking for good electricians.
