I'm a roofing contractor. The last two months we haven't gotten a significant amount of work in until this week. Last week we were at 10% of the amount of work under contract we had last year at this time. Lots of bidding, lots of plans and lots of indications that things were coming in, but no contracts. And they ask my why I drink. A few nice jobs are coming in now, but it really makes you think about contingency plans. I have long time employees with families and mortgages. I worry a lot.
The Sutphen was quite clean, but the biggest problem was that one of the risers was leaking and took out a couple of cylinders. I suspect that was the root cause of the previous wiped cam right before I bought it. I pretty much ignored the warning signs. I just wanted the boat. I think I ended up doing too much at one time. There was a whole lot of "while we're doing this, we might as well.....". If I had it to do again, I would probably go for a little milder tune on the engines in the interests of long term reliability.
It's my classic hot rod now.
