Hmmm. My bad. I was mislead by an article about satellite hacking and how it's "easier than people think". Turns out they just meant evesdropping on transmissioms xP

Tbf to me tho I mentioned the hacking in his bio. It was also mentioned in the part explaining where he got the $50k listed in his equipment section. I'll get rid of the satellite bit and just say he bought a larger antenna to boost his signal, but the hacking and mechanical stuff is part of his skillset, as established in his bio.

If it's not mentioned as a skill in the section that's explicitly for the listing of skills, then I have to assume the ability for it is nothing special for what a normal person I pick off of the street can do. Stating "he did programming and some hacking" in one line of the bio isn't enough to merit anything special. 

No retconning either. Your initial post still stands, Wes is just grossly overestimating his abilities.

Granting the boat-steering thing on top of everything else was enough. Take what you've been given and don't keep toeing the line.
