Yeller,
The comments about your fiberglass repair were compliments to YOU. :? I was implying you were worth more than you were "charging" even if there was no money involved.
As far as my work load...All I do is engines and things related to performance boats. Everyday.. all year long. No regular jobs and work on motors on the side stuff. My turn over is greater than $600,000 this year. The math says it is what it is. My dad had a "marine dealership" for 20 years. Sold 350 boats a year and we never did much in rebuilds to speak of. Probably like your uncles shop where you take care of your customers and don't get business unless it comes thru the door. 85% of my business is either outstate or outcountry. My bills and parts accounts say the stuff has to be going somewhere. Point is to do 100 motors a year is not out of the ordinary when that is what the business revolves around.
So now you know....You thought about that glass shop yet?? :wink: Seriously the guys here charge a fortune and do TONS of warranty work for Ranger (I know ), triton, etc etc. I know of one shop that used to do cars and boats and dropped the cars because they make so much more glassing. He's is very good at it so the insurance companies and factories send all their stuff there. So if your ever in the need for climatic change... 8)
