Pics to come when I get them to Jeff. She at least has a nice bum so the pics are worth it. Now due to my size there is no way that I can fit my shoulders in this opening, let alone work in most of the spaces in a Bayliner (a 40 foot boat). So I enlist the aid of a much smaller and better looking person to start to train as a installer, my friend Cara who works next door at Subway.  At 110 pounds she is just the right size to be twisted into a pretzel (not that I would know yet) and can fit pretty much anywhere. So while we are working at the battery bank, we here a crash and some hysterical laughing. Where is Cara, look over at where she was working and she is not there. So look a little closer and oh, there she is, she fell into the storage compartment that is under one of the seats. She was gone, you could not see her. She landed on her mellon, gave the keel a smooch while she was there and we basically had to reach in and haul her out by her ankles. It's a good thing she is so small as some of the spots I needed to get to in this boat there was just no way I could ever have even put my arm into past my elbow. But we fixed up a FS hatchet job (sorry Ravenderat - not you of course), finished it off at 3:30 am and the customer is gone fishing. 15 hours to reinstall a satellite radio antenna, a new cd player, a 4 channel amp, rerun all wiring and change all connections to solder and heatshrink, mount new speakers, change all mounting hardware to stainless steel, run wiring (a real PITA and the major time hog here as it all had to be loomed and tied properly) and make up some nice custom RCA cables. Talk about a nighmare on water.....

Do you know what store the Boat came from? I have seen some real FS hatchet jobs as well so dont worry, you aint gonna offend me at all. And I second the request to see the mystical "Ass in the Boat" shot

Yes I know exactly what store it came from and the employees that did this on their own time. I should also point out that no current installer employed at FS had a part in this. Employees working on their own time are indeed stealing from their employer. Jeff now has the pics.

Did she find it as funny as everyone else?  It's always good to be able to laugh at yourself.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.
