"Previous Owner" or "Pissed Off"?

I thought I'd found the end of the Previous (whatever)'s weird jury
rigs on this boat but look at this?

My wife has become accustomed to hearing me use the phrase,
"the moron who used to own this boat" when talking about
severely underdone repairs. Some were really brilliant, like
wiring a series of add-on fans & lights to the genset start
battery, others were merely inconvenient like wire-tying his
new speaker wire (the cheapest grade BTW) to various bits of
plumbing throughout the boat.

I'm sure that the next owner of our boat, in some distant
future time, will review some of my handiwork and say "what
kind of moron cobbled this BS together?"

Heh, just be sure to stuff a note in there someplace. Somewhere they'll
find it when untangling the mess. My old man used to fix radar on Navy
bombers back in WWII and loved retelling the story of finding a note buried
deep inside one, that read "if you're all the way in here trying to fix it,
you're f.cked."
