That's why I'm so excited and optimistic, the timing could not be better. I have a gut feeling that my obsessive reading and writing on here will pay off in terms of my career.:) Good on ya. Keep it up. The ones who slack off will be pulling gear for you in no time. |

I like Merc's but 150 horse is way to small for me :D
I'll say, with what a new motor sells for, you can certainly upgrade boats significantly due to all the repo boats at auction. There is a BIG/HUGE disconnect between retail and wholesale. Last week, way more boat than I want, I saw a 2003 26 foot whaler with twin 225 verado's (with 170ish hours of run time) 2006 vintage and a triple axle trailer sell for $16K. That's the price of one of those motors retail. |

Largest by the long shot if it happens. |

The leak bout BA is well place and meant to create action. |

It will. Trust me. Instruct there. Apply for Dal's internship for you summer after your first year. Also look at taking a semester off for one here. Less competitive.
Many may laugh at you working so hard but as you know seniority is everything. It saved me years and was able to upgrade at a regional at 25. Barring 9-11 I would have had a much different career. I hope nothing like that ever comes in your,way. Keep in touch with us mou seem to have your,head screwed on straight.

Hard work, in the timing department, frequently pays off well in this industry.

I've got a proline center console. 150 will move it plenty fast, but I am looking at the 4 strokes for the better economy.

I'm more likely to get a cruiser. |

Thanks. Like I said, though, I realize that it's practically unheard of currently for a 21 year old (that's what I'll be when I graduate) to become a new hire pilot with Delta. I'll tell you, though, I'm going to try and push as hard as I can to increase my chances of it happening.

How bizarre!
