[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 161566, member: 1523"] Good to hear you are dealing with it well. I did a year of nights learning to be an electronics tech and honestly I didn't retain much from falling asleep all night long. Engines are good, the bigger the better. I'd try to go commercial, stay away from happy home owner IO's or outboards, nothing like fixing others mistakes. Better pay and much better work. That being said, you could do well just sitting on your toolbox at the ramp or marina pier most weekends. Doing a motor swap on dad's 28' Chris Craft last summer after he swapped the carb and lost a nut 'somewhere'... [img]https://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z291/Ranchero50/odd%20stuff/DSCF0942.jpg[/img] Stripped the motor in the hull to get it out, used a backhoe to set the new engine combo in.
