I think both of them will suffer from what happened. Skip and Dean both are great people. I have been on phone calls with both of them when we purchased our last boat. We now have a truck that we can't match up b/c we took the writing off.. Cigarette painted our last boat which they took from Dean's. Cig. does a great job in house. Our paint was flawless on our 42x. I do though think they "both sides" stepped on themselves.

I am sure though there are people who will have to get over TAOD not painting their new boat's. It's just sucks to see two great minds fight. The power of two is greater than one. At least that's what ExxonMobil drills into us! I am sure there is another power out there to team up with both of them.
