What this is

A run of marine and automotive projects focused on diagnosing, rebuilding, and improving mechanical systems. On the water: two Boston Whalers restored, repair work on friends’ boats, and a Carolina Skiff fully gutted, rebuilt, and sold. On the road: an Alfa Romeo Giulia from the 1970s, finished, a Porsche 911 from the same era still in progress, plus several project cars with others.

Many of these were a progression. Buy, improve, sell, and use the outcome to move into the next one. Each project meant adapting to new systems, constraints, and failure modes.
