??????
Am I missing something? This has been in the news and the forums for a couple months....

Will,

I'll let you slide this time just don't let it happen again! LOL

Well I guess this finally makes it official.

Does anyone know if molds are in North Carolina yet?

I hear one of my buddys may be heading South for a job in North Carolina. I sure hope that works out.

Thanks

Even though we knew it was happening for some reason the paperwork had not been signed. I assume at this point it is finally official.

I hear a lot of things and it's hard to know exactly what is fact but it sounds like Brunswick/Mercury still has a hand in things as regarding power for both brands at some inflated prices. I cannot see how that will help the Baja line if it is indeed true.

It became official last week. Tooling starts leaving later this week to N.C.

No, the back parking lot is still full of them. The man in black was there yesterday going through the place.

I wanted to replay my phone message from him and see if he remembered calling me!:D

Of course he does. I gave him your number!:D

I heard you had a "private"interview with Gene Simmons yesterday. How did that work out for ya?

Petey was the only rockstar in that meeting. He could teach the other guy a thing or two :D
