I assume you have met an engineer it always works on paper but not always in real life.

I have been searching for it(the thread) and can't find it. I am sure thats what they said. And like you I made just about the same comment.

Not only met them, I employ two of them. They've done some silly things but nothing that bad. I, howeve,r have painted myself into a corner- literally. I'm a firm believer in smart people doing stupid things.

The boat is still here locally. I don't know what he is going to do with it. The boat is just sitting. It will take a bunch of money to finish that boat. It is nothing more than a blank hull with seats. It would make an awesome piece when it's done, but would take a bunch to get there.

but look at the recycling value of the aluminum...:D
