I wouldn't mind wearing a T-shirt version of that - and be given the chance to explain what it means when I'm asked the question "What's a KAAMA"

If HORBA made up a version of what you suggest, what kind of demand for that do you thnk there may be?

Mousey used to throttle for "Assult" the 39' Cig, back in the 80's.

Does Joe George still own it? I saw him last summer in Mentor OH, But I did not ask him about the boat.

Mike Huffman owns the boat. I am not sure if Joe has anything to do with ownership anymore.

I'm in for 2.

and like nocigarette said - don't stop there!
I'm up for a new wardrobe of shirts - some embroidered logo's on a blue or black denim shirt , both breast and across the shoulders on the back.
Something I can still wear to the office, but with a classic Offshore theme.
You're only gonna see us old school die-hards buying them, but it's a very cool idea. I've used custom print shops in the past that will run you as little as a dozen at a time, I think you already have that sold here - so, run 3-4 dozen and once people see them at races or poker runs, they'll be asking for them.
If you want some help with design work, I'm volunteering.
Charlie - let me know how I can help.
