I've always lived on water of some sort. It started because I have Lab dogs and they need to swim every day, then I got into RC Nitro boats, yeehaw. I'm 56 and retired from Local 533 pipefitters in Kansas City about a year ago. I really like working on the boats and motors. I sure wish I knew more about the motors. Jeesh, I used to overhaul 1200 HP centrifugal AC compressors, but can't get these little motors figured out.
