If it is then I think he's getting out before he has to revamp his line. They have been pretty much the same boat for a long time now. Even Sonic is moving ahead.

It is Velocity in Sanford, FL outside Orlando and the highway they speak of is I-4.

5 million sitting in a munibond account earning even 6% is 300K a year tax free. I wouldn't even think of the boat business even if on paper it showed I could make 600K a year. Rising insurance/ fuel prices have pushed Velocity into the center console business for a reason, they can't easily sell their go fast boats. It also notes 3 million in the asset/furniture category but no where it mentions the land/building. Would love to see the 3MM desK!

Now imagine what Skip thinks Cigarette is worth! 25MM/ 50MM or more?

I think the market is going in the same direction I want to go with my boating, Large Center Consoles with 4 stroke outboard power. There will still be a high demand for the elite builders like Nortech, Outerlimits, Cig,and a few others.

I would like to see the change at Fountain where for the most part they make a good boat in 3 styles, how much of the orders of the go fast boats have dropped and how many more express cruisers and center consoles get ordered.
