Rats, not like I could afford one of your toys anyway ;-)


Heh heh! The design is just the beginning. Typical building costs are
about
10x the design cost. That is to say - typical design costs are 10% of
building
cost. Haven't had a good 75k design for years. ;-(

Well ya never know SB, bonus announcements are in 3 short weeks. I'm hoping
they take care of a brother better than last year ;-)

Never said you did


Sounded to me like you implied it, though...

a shiity salesman.

Here's what I said:

"would you be ok if I copied and used one of your boat DESIGNS if I didn't
sell the final product. How long would I have to wait to sell it?
any other questions?"

om...

There are no driveways in public housing.


I'll defer to your obvious expertise in getting free $$ from Uncle Sam.


My uncle's name is Walt. You might want to check with Matt Lesko.

Actually, Bobby, you said:


If your boatbuilding skills are anything like your social skills, it would

rot
in your driveway before anyone bought it.

Steve


And you have done so well that you now work for someone else?


Which implied to me that you thought I hadn't done very well with boatbuilding.

Consider the source SB, he probably doesn't do much with his life.

So what's a small corvette go for these days, I got a smooth $30K to spend
on a new toy??

No,
I implied that your boat DESIGNING business didn't do well. Which you agreed
with

"I am sick of trying to sell myself, being a shiity salesman."

True...

Not sure you could find a corvette for that. Not unless you have 10-20 times
that available for the refit. Maybe a cute little tugboat? ;-)

I'm not talking about my price. You wanted a corvette, which implies ex-Navy.
Mostluy they don't sell those things unless they are at death's door, hence the
$$ for the refit. ;-)

Buy one of those Corvette thingies with 4 wheels and a big motor, probably less
risky.
