That's why you hear so much about rotting transoms, floors, and bulkheads in older Grady's. I haven't heard so much about "rotting transoms, floors, and bulkheads in older Grady's!" When should I expect mine to fall apart? I dunno about yours, Gene. My 1991 Grady Gulfstream had a bulkhead that was completely rotted out. I think we have discussed that before and I am still at a loss. My bulkheads are made of a resin based material... not unlike micarta.... heavy as lead, but not susceptible to rot. My bulkhead was a laminate, almost like laminate counter tops. Everything under the laminated surface was rotted out plywood. Fortunately, it wasn't structural. It was simply the wall between the cockpit and the cabin. That old boat wasn't spec'd out by John Hertvik, the guy who claims he can build better, faster, cheaper computers, without knowing what is wanted? No. I'm pretty sure they outsourced fabrication of the bulkheads to the union shop down the street. In the Carolinas? Doubtful. More likely, former dental patients from south Florida. Or dentists from Indiana/New Jersey who have gone bad and had their licenses lifted. Since you can get away with almost anything in Florida, some also setup shop there. Florida does not have dental license reciprocity with any other states. The pass rate for out-of-state dentists trying to get licensed in Florida runs between 10 and 30%. So much for your theory, Don. |

So much for your theory, Don. Florida is tougher on most Professional licenses because of the constant influx of people. They have there own continuing education standards. Florida's building codes are tougher than amost anywhere else in the country as well. donnie is lost in the brown fog rising from harry's ass........he has really stepped in to make up for kevin's lack of inane posting. |

You would judge the population of an entire country by my posts? I don't know if I should be flattered or scared. Someone in Ottawa might feel the need to silence me lest George W. decides to invade and teach us a lesson. |
