Shane,
It's taken you 32 years to ask where the $ is???

They didn't run the plug to see how the bottom worked? Most companies make all their changes to the running plug before making a mold.

Maybe they got it perfect the on the first try.

And i hear they also stiffed him on his Pay

I Wonder how long the other employees will stay "custom-building racing boats -- and attempting to rebuild history" when they go home without a paycheck ????

sorry to hear about that Jay. the boating industry is a tough place to be sometimes. glad to hear you were able to find somthing else down there. every time i get down to FLA it gets harder and harder to come back up north. have a good one


hows the Baha by the way

Jay how are you ??

Yo Mark!
what up bro?

Since I was "stiffed" as the others so eloquently put it, I dont know what testing or anything they did on the plugs, molds, cadd designs nothing.
I KNOW NOTHING
I do know that I did get paid finally which is what i was most concerned with.

Jason

Oops

"I'm almost starting to regret getting into this," said Allen, who has plans to sue the two businessmen who sold him the Apache trademark in April 2003. "I'm starting to think this is a freaking headache. All I wanted to do was build a quality boat."


Wonder who he is talking about
