Mind if my kid looks around in the cabin?
Dirty hands and muddy feet because they have been playing around the ramp.
I spent the weekend cleaning the boat behind the shop when one of my employees drove up to dump his truck load of garbage in the dumpsters (why?), and wanted his son to see inside. I was backed to the loading dock and the platform is at dock height. I told him to look off the dock and he could see in or take his shoes off before he came in. I also had a ladder so he could look in from the side. His dad could not understand why his kid needed to take his shoes off and did not want him to get his feet dirty in the parking lot. Hmm? Clean interior, filthy sneakers, climbing across upholstery. The next week he was explaining to another employee how much of an a$$ I was when he was reminded how the guys had to take their shoes off when they went into his new TV room.

The one that peevs me off the most is "what do you do for a living" seriously, first words out of their mouths not even a "hi" . The real question they want to ask is how can a tattooed mid thirties metalhead float this? I never reply usually but if I do I tell em I'm an international arms dealer or I am a drug runner just to F with them.

What do you do to be able to afford something like that.
Why do you need a boat like that. You can't even sleep on it.
Little do they know the cabin is nicer than most peoles living rooms.

Where do you take this thing??
How much does that cost??
