Subscribed, as a man in my 20's I have heard this alot. Your to young with not enough experience. Sometimes that is tue, but if your smart enough you can make it happen. It may not work the first time as you planned. Just cut it back out and start over. It's not a customers boat it's yours. You know what you need in the end so just make it happen.

As for the men who are putting him down relax. I don't know him but what I can tell you is you where young and ambitious once as well. The reason engineering and technology improves is because someone tries something or has an idea. Maybe 315 is one of those people, or maybe he isnt. Either way he has a father to tell him if it's a bad idea. If he has questions he will ask someone with some more experience that he trusts and respects. My advice to 315 is don't count your chickens yet. With 5 to 6 years experience there is still a ton to learn. There always is and the best way to learn that is to be humble. Listen to advice and take it constructively. Good luck I can't wait to see it as it comes along

I'm a young "wippersnapper" as well, and get the same treatment from time to time. I say go for it, you don't know until you try. If it don't work out chalk it up as a lesson learned.

In the great words of Edison he didn't fail 1,000 times inventing the light bulb. He found 1,000 ways not to make a light bulb.

Use the negatives as fuel to motivate you!

According to the NY govt. Business database, there is no tax paying business by the name "upstate powerboat" or anything close. The list is current. As of 10-6-2015.

So, NO! He doesn't pay his taxes. :lolhit:

Description:
This boat was just completed by Upstate Powerboat out of Syracuse NY. Were a small shop getting our name for updating and customizing powerboats only. We built this boat specifically to bring to the shoot out and for resale! Boat can be seen all week during the shoot out. Test rides available for serious buyers. Boat will be at the street party on wed night as we'll.

Here's a run down of what we did.

Boat was stripped to a shell. Stringers checked. Took the floor out. Checked tanks. Boat was stripped to gel any cracks were professionally repaired using poly resin. Boat was totally painted in house too to bottom front to back with PPG DBC series paint and clear. Extra clear was added around clears and walk areas so can be buffed more with out going through. This boat was made to be a turn key wave crusher. It's powered by original LOW HOUR merc racing 454 - 420 hp with the gill 420 exhaust system. TRS drives. A lot of people don't like the TRS because they loose speed. But we left them on, because they are I breakable. You will never blow a drive with this power. It's a turn key boat you can get on and enjoy. Got rid of the old style mechanical fuel pumps and put in summit racing electronic fuel pumps. Went through the carbs. New coils and packs. Plugs, etc. Also deleted the water circ pump which are known to fail and did a water by pass WITH thermostats so you can manage your water temp accurately!
Total custom interior was put in with custom embroidery. The only thing we did not do was address the gauges. We kept a more classic paint and interior look and didn't know if the buyer would want Livorsi or classic white set. Out shop depending on price can do the gauge swap. Boat also comes with a 2 year paint warrantee. If paint chips or flakes or fades. It's totally covered. Along with a 20hr full boat warranty.
Much more! Come see us this week!

Boat is registered till '17 and have all the original docs from 89. Only a 2 owner boat. Comes with trip axle trailer 6 new tires. 6 new bearings not a month old.

Please call or text or come see the upstate powerboat cafe at the street party! Custom builds can be talked about as we'll if a cafe isn't your style. Bigger power and drive options available as we'll. no test DRIVES available unless cash or check In hand. But more than welcome to come for a ride
