I dont work for LMCO but call on LMCO Marietta, Orlando and Dallas. I am a sales guy and sell composite honeycomb and soft composite tooling.

Funny thing is, when you relate fighter jets to speed boats the similarities are strikingly similar. All the little tips and tricks of making the JSF and former F-22 fast and nimble all apply. Most people dont realize planes are referred to with bow, stern, port and starboard...

Well you are flying on water. I worked at the Marietta plant back in 98. C5 and c130j go to be there for the f22 first flight. To know see them in the air is amazing. Good luck with your boat. I had a 272 and loved it. It was our family boat and was a pleasure. It was stolen last year at Lanier.
