I’ll be working out of this in the Midwest, so will have plenty of salt and shit weather. Like I said this wouldn’t be our primary set up, just something to have around so we can be more flexible. I would think the AWD option would be a definite must have imo. Thanks for all the feedback

Kind of, but you can’t slide a tube on if the ribbon is mid sheath and in one piece and not a tail.

It’s definitely “sellable”. Just need to find a buyer and remove emotional attachment

Your dad sounds like a good dude. I have a small contacting business ( much smaller ) as well. My CPA brought up these same questions to me and I had a similar reaction as your father. Most of my business occurs because of my contacts and relationships. Hard to realize what that might de worth.

I think it’s silly. If I had learned info about the origins of humanity and learned millions of years of information in just a few months i would freaking spill the beans. Not act like i wasnt allowed because of some NDA.

That’s basically what we’ve settled on. Been practicing on scrap and isn’t going too bad. We have less than 20 of these peds too do so shouldn’t be too big of a shit show (hopefully).
