The thing he does have going for him.....
You can take swipes at his pie in the sky dreams all day, but how many times has he taken it on the chin and gotten back up to stand toe to toe?? The kid doesn't want an obama phone and food stamps to pay for his bong loads and he is not glued to an x-box, he wants to stand on the deck of a boat he did with his chest out. Thats drive and determination you just don't see in a lot of the youth these days.
Once he settles down, developes some interpersonal and marketing skills, learns to rig etc, imagine where this kid could be in 10 years. He has the talent, just needs to learn the art.
If he took a couple years working for skip, sweeping floors at tnt or taking the trash out at outerlimits, stuck his nose in everything asking "how did you do that" and "why did you do that" he could easily come out of it making stuff we would all be drooling to have.
Phil, its like I learned in racing, slow down and you will go faster. Unfortunatly it took several bad crashes for me to learn that. Once I did that I no longer had to try to be one of the fast guys, I was one of the fast guys.

I've been screwed by many people in the boating business over the past 35 plus years. I eventually learned all of them had one common theme, deceive the customer. Reading things said by Phil in this thread and reading the ads gives me that feeling.

The only thing 315 proved is all of us "haters" were correct. Keep running illegal business undercutting the rest of us making an honest living.
For all you supporting "a kid chasing his dreams" wait until that kid takes money out of your families pocket..........
This isn't a kid building a pleasure boat for himself. Might want to check your facts and stop skimming the threads. Better yet research other threads about him.
315....I personally hope your dad loans you enough money so you can make your business dreams a reality and eventually turn some real profit and pay dad back.
And don't get to big of a head yet just because your paint looks nice In pictures...... We still have no clue if it actually looks good in person, no clue if it will hold up, and no clue if you or your facility can handle major issues/snags that arrise while working on these high dollar boats.
Please keep posting story's about all your jobs booked so we can have some more entertainment throughout winter!

The trailer looked like it should be in a scrap yard.

Nope don't think so, Phil do us a favor take a couple of years and work with a professional who can teach you a few things, then get back in, start your own business when you actually are ready, with the drive you have you will go far.
You guys are tearing each other apart over what? The haters here are 100% correct in calling him out!! All you guys blowing him and telling him hey good job buddy, blah blah blah, that is what is wrong with society today, everybody is a winner...... No,No,No you need to earn respect not do half ass shabby work and make a couple friends who feel sorry for you because your 19...seriously?? This kid has caused full grown men to act like children.

People tipping
Me off about his jet ski past.... Well at least I knew I was right and I agree anyone defending this is not looking past the real issues
