: Yeah! but at least she can't tell you you don't know what you are talking
: about!!

: "But honey, I'm a pro and I have the slides to prove it!!" LOL

: Ian

you see... turning pro means you keep your secrets and develop your own style for no one else to know. staying ametuer means that you share everything you know with your pears. yes pro's make a lot of money but every "pro" I'v ever met was a snobish jerk that was interested only in the sale and not in telling you waht layup he used on his boat or how he did this or that... you know? man don't go "pro" it's just a mindset. make good boats sell them for more and don't go "pro" you'll get more respect on my end.
