a 8 foot inflatable row boat 6 years old
we moved to clevelandsoon after, then back to where we are now, 1/2 miles from the marina, which might be why i like boats more than cars....:D

still have that but "borrow" (they call it stealing) the parents baja.

Job? First was at the marina puming gas, second was at a restaurant, third was promotion at the marina to a restaurant worker.

currently un employed :)

looking to get a job pushing in carts at the supermarket, by myself, outdoors, good physical workout job.

Oh yeah, on the side ive been selling pirated DVD's ;)

O.K. 7yrs old 6' raft.
10yrs old, made dad drive me to the lumber store baught 2, 4x8' sheets of plywood, my own saw, a box of 500 roofing nails and a tube of calk. 2 days later and no more calk or nails:confused: the little masterpiece was done.I made one paddle voyage across the pond and didn;t make it back. To this day I have no idea where the water came from but it came fast:D I think all the nails weighed it down. anyways after that I stopped building race boats.lol. Now I have a 24' Excalibur Offshore 2 seater. its old but I love it. I'm 22 and am a wholesale parts rep by career, but for real money i am a mechanic/construction any any other side job that brings the cash:D :D :D :D
