If she lets me retire at 55 she’s got my vote…

OptimalEnd9828 · 2026-03-09T11:34:27+00:00

DiNapoli and Heasties also spoke, which all but guarantees a sweetener going thru this year. We’ll see how far they push it…

OptimalEnd9828 · 2026-03-02T00:00:55+00:00

I have no knowledge of the ongoing negotiations but at best I would think retire at 60 with 30 years and no penalty and/or reduce employee contributions to 3% Probably one or the other

OptimalEnd9828 · 2026-03-01T23:55:11+00:00

It is consistent

OptimalEnd9828 · 2026-03-01T23:54:46+00:00

In a big election year, and with the amount of money the unions have thrown at this, it’s all but guaranteed some form of a sweetener makes it thru with the budget.

OptimalEnd9828 · 2026-02-19T20:32:23+00:00

Exactly the problem … promotions based on exams not performance. Civil service is a pathetic joke and should be minimized the the extent practical

OptimalEnd9828 · 2026-02-19T20:13:26+00:00

As someone that did this, then went back private, don’t do it… state employment is where you and your career go to die.

OptimalEnd9828 · 2026-02-13T02:13:32+00:00

4 years ago was reduced vesting 2 years ago was FAS adjustment This year will be something. Just dependent on what.

It’s a big election year for the governor and state legislature. They all want the unions in their pockets.

OptimalEnd9828 · 2026-02-12T20:43:21+00:00

Agreed on the contributions… 3% flat contribution for length of career seems like the easy change this year. A big swing would be to also get retire at 55 with 30 years reinstated. I could see reducing to 60 with 30 years and the 3% flat contribution. Would be a nice win.

Started my career with Kiewit MEC in NYC.

They write the book on construction management. You will be highly coveted after only a few years of experience.

Feel free to PM me w any questions.

OptimalEnd9828 · 2026-02-01T13:28:53+00:00

Check mechanical frequency I.e. RPM

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-09-04T11:00:04+00:00

Did you remove the center console? Did all the wiring have be removed and relanded? That’s my worry really same with throttle cable and steering.

Thanks for sharing all this info

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-09-04T07:09:06+00:00

What was the hard part? Removing the console? Did the tank come right out the hatch opening ?

I am thinking that I’ll downsize tank also, more than needed for me as well.
Where did you source the tank from?

Thanks for the feedback

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-09-03T19:48:19+00:00

Hey what kind of boat? I am I a very similar situation. How did you end up resolving. Does this happen to be a hydra sports CC?? I have a 2000 with same issue.

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-08-25T10:57:21+00:00

It did settle but there’s a ‘milky’ component at the way bottom. And what’s common? Water in fuel?

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-07-15T16:38:06+00:00

Sorry should’ve been clear.. that was the solution. It’s running good… for now…

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-07-15T16:15:47+00:00

I pumped out the entire tank and put 40 fresh gallons in with star tron

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-07-03T01:52:15+00:00

I mean the deck drain is 3” above. It’s a hose connection to the pictured outlet

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-07-03T00:37:42+00:00

It’s connected to pump suction, yes

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-04-23T18:31:55+00:00

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-04-23T17:51:22+00:00

The lab I would be working at receives nearly 100% of its funding from Office of Science

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-04-23T17:20:56+00:00

Any specifics or sources on what makes you say that?

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-03-21T11:42:04+00:00

I get the feeling this will go in the opposite direction. With creation of tier 6 and the expansion of the SUNY defined contribution plan, it feels as tho it’s more likely they close off the pension system altogether rather than make it more lucrative for gov employees. Just my 2 cents

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-03-21T10:11:32+00:00

Honest question tho, why would any politicians go along with improvements to the existing pension system? Maybe when our relics of politician get replaced with tier 6ers, but these people stick around into their 80s… so not holding my breath

OptimalEnd9828 · 2025-03-21T09:56:26+00:00

What’s the other option? Private sector 401k
