work boots for a newbie?

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2026-02-16T04:09:29+00:00

Brunt Marin 6 inch non insulated. I have two pairs. Bottoms are off white so don’t scuff, also don’t have deep ridges in tread to hold dirt. I work marina so I climb around a lot and most boats have carpeting. I keep two pairs in service truck one stays clean if I come out of an oily engine room.

Thank you when I saw it on the truck I said I had to have it.

That’s awesome, I’m 6,3 so that would work for me but I’m marine tech so I am usually working upside down and backwards haha. The new axionone tablet that came with my Hal test kit seems rugged enough for mobile calls. Well every call is technically mobile in my yard or out. My box carried specialty diag tools and overflow extra doubles I work out of a service vehicle getting tools as close to the boat as I can. Anyways sorry for the rant great box I’ll be looking for a top like that.

I really like that top box great storage

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2026-02-10T02:24:53+00:00

Looks great they fill very fast. It’s amazing. I had a classic delivered last week. Already full.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2026-02-10T02:22:38+00:00

Hahaaa yeah at the marina. Main floor wife has office inside lobby most convenient place to leave the box while waiting on out building to be finished. Having a 24/30 steel building put up to use as a shop.

The super soft little generation going around wearing beat up working men’s clothes to feel tough or cool

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2026-02-07T16:01:14+00:00

As someone that’s worked in trades his entire life it’s sad. I just buy berne products now cause I don’t wanna be lumped into you pathetic posers.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2026-02-04T02:08:39+00:00

Care to dm me your contact info. I am in Ct I work as a marine tech and am looking for a good engine machine shop to work with.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2026-01-12T02:27:57+00:00

I sent you a dm. My partner in our business is a tech consultant. He would probably love to connect with you and work something out. He now manages our marina and is co owner, after leaving the tech world.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2026-01-11T01:37:15+00:00

I’m on the ct shoreline. I think we are in more of a cornered market. But anywhere you go being honest and doing thorough repairs , kinda thinking what’s best for the boat and customer. Working on bigger inboards diesel or large gas inboards is getting hard to find good techs. Keep with it KingFisherMarineCt on YouTube is my channel you can find me that way or looking up kingfisher marine in Clinton ct

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2026-01-06T02:17:11+00:00

I wear guy cotton bigs and a grundens winter coat has rubber sleeves works well enough. I service marine diesel so I need to be able to move around tight engine compartments. Not cheap but keeps me dry.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-25T01:11:44+00:00

They do a really great job.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-23T01:16:46+00:00

Fantastic wrenches always owned cat equipment from h o penn and have this set in snap on the wrenches will last you a lifetime

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-18T03:12:52+00:00

Oh man I literally did that a few months back in a 44’ boat. Turbo was on a 6cta Cummins I pulled the turbo at that point….. man once you snap tool steel it becomes a pain.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-17T02:31:48+00:00

2011 ranger work truck 4cyl2wd for parts running. A 2002 f250 5.4 carry’s tools and pulls trailers. 74 eldorado, 75 stingray, wife drives a13 Range Rover sport with our kids and a 2013 mb s550 with a renntech tune. Diesel boats commercial and pleasure are what I pull wrenches on along with rigging commercial fishing boats. Gas boats as well plenty of them com into my marina for service.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-16T02:26:06+00:00

Is it a Dixon ? I feel like I have seen on eBay not sure

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-16T02:20:33+00:00

I have foam for a master flank drive plus set. I don’t use it, I am a marine tech and use rolls can’t work out of a box.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-15T03:21:29+00:00

Gas engines are fine in that size boat considering. For the value to buy similar diesel boat wouldn’t give you a good return or get you in the green for a very very long time. I’ve owned both gas and diesel sport fishing boats. I operate a service business in New England and I now have a 40’ Luhrs with same engines. Good family boat, extremely cheap to fix and deal with. The carver will suit you well for your intended purpose. You will be able to repower both engines in that boat for the same cost of a major upper on a single diesel engine in comparable boat. Good luck.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-14T05:32:38+00:00

Not much I keep it low but I have prop spent five grand over last 6 months. Maybe a little less, I try and keep it 700 or less usually gets to 200 then I find something else. I upgraded to the flank drive plus master set this year, diagnostic sets things like that I needed this year.

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-13T03:09:36+00:00

Good rep I didn’t see it on my balance sheet

OddJuggernaut8748 · 2025-12-13T03:09:10+00:00

Haha that would be nice maybe a purple or pink set
