I hope he makes it through these hard times. And all the others too.

After attending show for five years with declining mfg and consumer attendance and increwased show cost we thought the money would be better spent at an open house this spring, having a fun run with food, drinks, helicopter for pictures and music all NO CHARGE for the consumer. Other than MIAMI, boat shows are going to get smaller, it's all about the www and your site.

I was at the factory last week and everything is fine, there are more than 15 boats on production line and 30 boats in the system with approvals for builds.

Reggie has been doing this a long time and is a a surrvivor and I feel confident saying there isn't a high performance boat manufacturer out there that wouldn't love to have 15 boats on the line and 30 in the system, heck that's more than most of them would build in a total year.

Hopefully Reggie will go private soon and not be under the public microscope.

Regards,

Scott Shogren
