Good morning Scott .... you see that racing boat crash this week in KW? All seem to be good they called us the next day to see if we had supplies they could buy for a temporary repair to continue racing.

Don't forget the romance of a fireplace.

@@WillFixThat Hey, you said that you were cold. OK, two-person hot shower.

OMG yes, Wrap the truck or signs. Free advertising. I was an auto mechanic for 31 years and loved working on boats. I wish I moved to Florida 20 years ago and did it for a living. I lived in CT and it's too cold in the winter to work on boats.

Yup we put magnets on the doors and the tailgate.... kind of dressed it up LOL. Yes to cold to work on boats in CT and way to HOT here in the summer. This summer was brutal many days felt like 113' and we had a few months feeling over 100' I say feels like cause our temperature only gets to about 93-95' but it was blazing.

In NC, your vehicle will not pass inspection if any headlight or taillight lenses are cracked. I learned this myself when I backed my Subaru Outback into my empty garbage can that had already been collected. Most manufacturers of modern vehicles DO NOT sell the covers for lamps separate. You must buy the entire light fixture unit. Even just one headlight can be one heck of an expense. After watching a dozen or so videos of you digging into one repair or another, I'm amazed at how much knowledge you have stored in that noodle of yours. What also amazes me is how easily you can move from one boat to another and have a basic idea of where to look for various components of any particular system. How long have you been doing this kind of work? How did you get started in this profession? Also, knowing this temp sensor doesn't work with that display just blows my mind. I love the work you do. I hope those boat owners out there that rely on you for repair and replace work, REALLY understand that a guy like you, in this profession, is a rare thing indeed. They should consider themselves blessed to have someone with your integrity, working on their boat. Bless you and your family. Alan from NC

You got to love boat ownership ....

How often do you check your air conditioning pumps? This one was less than 10 months old but it obviously sprung a leak and caused components to rust quickly!

Definitely change the tires

@WillFixThat

Yes tires are on the list! On Friday we had one of our guys wash and wax it!

sheesh what a mess... water inside the boat where it is not wanted is NEVER a good thing! Yeah new tires those tires are looking pretty sketchy... don't want a blow out at 60 MPH Yikes!! Magnetic signs work great and you can remove and move to different vehicles if you need to as well.. options open :D Great episode! Keep those cameras rolling! 👍👍

Thank you 🙏 salt water pump was a mess! Got 3 magnets 2 for the doors and one on the tailgate. Tires are on our list for repairs.

What if you wrapped your pumps and connections with insulating pipe foam? At least it wouldn’t spray everywhere and could direct the water to the bilge saving expensive repairs.

@WillFixThat

Only pumps we wrap are chilled water pumps! If there’s a leak the water is going to blast thru the foam.

Boats, as with many things, are over-engineered by engineers that aren't boaters. Adding features that aren't necessary, and making everything more expensive and complex than it needs to be. After boating since I was a toddler and decades following, NO, I would never buy a new boat again.

Thanks for sharing Mac! Completely understand what you are saying .... just think we deal with the over complexity every day! Boats are fun but expensive hobbies!

Hey Matt it looks like we do the same thing you guys do in Trinidad in the Caribbean. Would love to chat with you to share some ideas some time....
