we have all been in his shoes. I personally have learned a ton of valuable information from some of the older, wiser, more experienced offshore guys on here. ive made a ton of great connections and many many now close friends. the difference is I LISTENED to them and didnt "talk back" to the guys that have been through it. I learned from advice i was given and saw and understood the mistakes other members have told me they made in the past on builds. @ 33 yrs old im not afraid to learn and the bigger more performance projects i move up into im still not afraid to ask the questions i have and listen to the big boys.... key word... listen

His proprietary methods of repair and going to show us all how it's done doesn't get taken too well. Idk maybe I'm just an a$$hole but I call it as it is.

yes, but he was a real dick about things, and we didn't have social media when we were young for everyone to see us acting dumb at 19... when you publically tell everyone to F off basically, it does not help your case lol

why don't you all just give it a rest and let him prove himself. you can jump all over him if he fails or better yet give him some good advice and encouragement. way too much negativity on these forums. who cares how much hp his truck has or what ball hitch he has. he simply came on here to share his pride and joy with what he thought were like minded people that would a nice cigarette build thread. enjoy the threat for what it is and the pictures that everyone always wants to see. i hope he succeeds and continues on in the marine world, as there are fewer young people in the sport every year. keep up the hard work

btw, i've seen way too many older, more seasoned, experienced boaters in my life that really didn't know shxt about boats. age doesn't always give you knowledge and there are some people that will just never get it no matter what
