Boats! Every day is different, every job is different. But there are basic guidelines and standards to work to. The fun is seeing how terribly far away from those standards the average boatowner gets…

I’m a marine service engineer and let me tell you one thing, private boat owners are some of the worst people I’ve ever come across, they want it all but looks in disgust when you tell them the price and accept no fault of their own when their unserviced piece of somehow still floating shit needs a major overhaul because they thought it would be cheaper to not service their ship or use cheap unoriginal parts that doesn’t last as long. They will call you on short notice and expect you to be done before you even begin. I fucking hated it. At the same time I was working on a shipyard, that was way better, there it was only the inspector who was an idiot.
