My name is Walter, I'm 29 and single

By day i'm a division manager for March Manufacturing where we make seal-less mag-drive chemical transfer pumps. After work and on weekends i have a small side businees doing mobile marine work to keep me out of trouble, mostly stereos and dashbord gauge stuff. And when i'm not doing one of those two i can probably be found on some sort of motorised toy....be it a boat, snowmobile, dirtbike, etc... :D

Started in watercraft at 16 when i bought my first of 3 jetskis. After those i got a 16' sears POS from a neighbor that was throwing it away.... From there a friend and i bought a 1985 Baja 320. After that came the Scarab. I'm currently boatles :( as of this spring due to purchasing a house but i'm always looking and if all goes well i'll probably have something by next spring(I hope :) )

My tow vechicle was a 99 CrewCab Chevy Dually but i sold that off as well so now i have a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee... may not be able to pull a house at 80-mph but its sure nice on gas! :D
