I have read with great pain, all 40 pages of this thread, from the beginning. My choice to remain silent until now is mine, and mine alone. I have enjoyed the comments and opinion theory and fact. Its up to the individual reader as to how to form thier own opinions. All I did is ask for empirical data, and somebody gets all froggy and decides to jump up. So be it. It really doesn't bother me if the darn thing works or not. doesn't bother me at all if it works as described or not. Otherwise, the poster looks rather foolish.
I've got no dog in this hunt, but now I really wanna know.
Holder of 2 degrees, Comp.Sci and Math.
Member of a team that won the SME/CASA Lead award in Mfg for FORTRAN 6 axis NC Code.
Member of the ANSI FORTRAN 77 standards commitee.
I've been a member of the ABYC since 1983.
SAMS cert. in 1996
Over the past 24 months, I've surveyed 81 boats, power and sail. (not including the 60 in the aftermath of the gulf storms)
Approved by boatus, chubb and at least 4 other ins. companies for surveys.
On 3 nationwide finance companys approved list for valuations (and more local ones than I care to be involved with).
I don't need to do it full time, I have other revenue streams. I turn away more business than I take, simple reason? My health prevents me from crawling all over the darn things like I used to.
I am one cranky, opinionated SOB. I can also be a persons best friend, or the one bast*** they wish never walked the earth, and I don't care which side of the fence anyone falls on.
I've held a six-pack (up for renewal in 2 yrs) since 1989, I won't be able to keep it due to health reasons. Oh well, thems the breaks.
None of that amounts to a tinkers dam.
While I maybe a newcomer to this thread, I'm not one when it comes to boating, or sailing. Started getting wet on a hobie cat before puberty.
I don't have to prove myself to anyone, and I think this sums it up.
My self worth is not contingent upon your opinion of me.
You either can deliver the goods, or you can't and my meal isn't going to taste any different either way.
See, my "giveash*tefactor" is really low.
now, if y'all will excuse me, I'm going back to a boat to finish up some poli-glow. If the 13 year old can find the darn camera, I'll take some pictures.
