Mechanical Engineer, .
Likes: new challenges, flex time so I can take time off when I want it. Decent money but not great.

Dislikes: Engineers by nature are dorky and not very social. Slightly too much travel lately. About .0001% population is attractive women while in school and now in work place. :-)

Changes if possible: Would make it more portable, i.e. my wife is in health care and can move anywhere and get a job, my situation is more limited .

I sell to the AEC market, some/most engineers not only dorky but lack a sense of humor, only architects are worse to deal with.

I came across this 1977 24' Super on ebay guy says it does 95+ with a 468 BBC & Gal Banks. What do you guys think ?

Wow a lot more engineering types here then I woulda expected. You are right Chris about the lack of humor, the movie "office space" is truly scary close to a cubical farm. I almost went into HVAC and the HVAC guys joked that the architects were not creative enough to be artists and couldn't do enough math for engineering.

Thayes, I looked at the auction, looks like deal, 95+ seems fast but I don't have enough knowledge to say for sure. What is up with the goofy straps on the drive? Surely nobody would be ina boat that fast with trim issues?

Not to get off the subject of income, but the Gale Banks Turbo ??? Didn't that go the way of the Air Research Turbo ( Buick Grand National ) ?????..........GONE........PARTS??????

Im a Salesmanager at a car dealership and a Wholesale Sales manager for the three family owned dealerships....
I enjoy sales but the hours are long and require Saturdays and occasional Sundays. They treat me good here but I produce so enough said....
I'd love to have a Monday-Friday gig to be a part of more boating related activities though..

OH-ZONE,
I know about the hours your talking about. The sales guys at the dealer I was at where ther often after midnight, even though they got to work at 9am.

mneal: I was in HVAC as a Product Specialist for York Htg & AC for 10 years before I became a mechanical Engineer. NY'er usally have a dry sence of humor anyway.
