Or worse, if it's your actual job.

I was wondering how long it would take one of you smart alecs to point out I hadn't connected it yet
The theory is there, but the execution is lacking (AKA I'm too lazy to make up the cables).

It would be cool, but I have a distinct lack of water out here.
I think my fascination with the marine stuff is that it's got a level of quality that is often lacking in the run of the mill 4wd equipment. And that's before we get into the level of water-proofness that I'm after for many applications.

Electrically, boats can be very sophisticated (as you've pointed out), but much of the systems would be useless on my old landy.

I've offered to re-wire my old man's boat, but he prefers people they call 'professionals'. Something about a boat being 'stranded at sea' and impending 'death and destruction' from fires. I don't get it, but each to their own I guess

I'll trade you! You come and sell propane and proapne accessories, and I'll play Captain Pugwash for a day. That sounds almost ideal!

Sound's like it could be a gas. You'll have to do 4,500 Hours as Seaman Stains first.
