Factory Tours
 

We had a great time at the OSO gathering yesterday. Meet many nice people from the board, and got to tour Ocean Express and Sunsation thanks to the efforts of James (Milord)

Thanks again James!!

BTW, The wife came away liking the 32' Dominator:eek: :eek: :D :D :D

Had A Great Time!
 

Keith,
Nice to meet you and all the others from the East Side!!
The tours were very interesting, I thought Adam at Ocean Express, Wayne, Joe, and Dave at Sunsation were very hospitable and am glad they took the time out of their busy schedules to give us the tours. can't wait to see the 38 footer from Sunsation. Thanks to James also, you did a great job organizing :D !

So close...why didn't you stop at AWESOME:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Because we had to get back to the bar:D

I had a great time yesterday on the tours and at the Tin Fish. It was nice to meet everyone and I hope to see all of you this summer on the lake! :)

I too want to thank the crews at Ocean Express and Sunsation. I had a great time and want to buy an new boat now !!!

i also had a great time at the Tin Fish. I was nice seeing everyone again ! Looking forward to all of us meeting on the water :)

I didn't make the tours but I did make the Tin Fish. Thanks Milord for getting us all together. I met some new people and enjoyed the conversation, and like the others, I'm looking forward to seeing this group out on the water.

Hi all,

I hope everyone had a good time on the tours and at the Tin Fish. I would like to thank Tom (Tomcat) for coming up with the ideas for the tours and arranging the Ocean Express tour. It was a great idea and I think it really shed some light on the boat building process for some of us that had not been through a manufacturer before.

A big thanks to Adam and Ocean Express for a great tour and all the guys at Sunsation, Dave, Wayne and Joe. Thanks for the videos and t-shirts. I can't wait to see the new Innovator hit the water.

Anyone that took pictures can you please post them. I was a dumbass and forgot to bring my camera!

It was great seeing everyone again, now lets make the next get together be on the water! :D

Talk to every soon,

James

Just wanted to say thanks to the guys at Ocean Express and Sunsation for the hospitality and to Milord for setting it up. It was pretty cool seeing both operations and good to see everyone at Tin Fish. I didn't take too many pics, but here's one:

I've got a camera, of the group picture from tin fish, I'll post it soon.

Thank you fellow OSO members for visiting with us on Saturday. I enjoyed meeting with and showing you around our little corner of the world. I hope we were able to shed some light on the importance of form, function and quality in the boat building process. What a quality group of members from OSO, take pride fellow members that we have so many great people on this world-class board.

Many Thanks again.

Sincerely

Missed out on the Tours Satruday. However, Tin Fish was fun - Especially since the Wings won! It was good chat with some unfamiliar OSO people.

Keith, thanks for posting the pics, they are great.

Hey BoatChic,

Thank you for welcoming me to the board, I appreciate it. I had to see what Milord spent 8+ hours a day on; I figured it had to be pretty good! I think I am hooked already! :p

How does that bottom work? It looks like a cross between a V and a baby Cat. Sorta of a reverse 'Pad' bottom. Do they have a name for the bottom?

Cobra, Don't know if they have an actual name for it but it does run up to the step

Hi Mellyjo~ Welcome aboard...ENJOY! :)

OK now I'm really bummin that i missed the tours, those are some great pics!! And unfortunately some had already left by the time i got to the fish--catch ya next time.

Hey boatchic--- you and J.J. have fun watchin them horsies in Kentucky:rolleyes:

Hey Del sol ,
I heard you had an interesting evening after the Fish. Kym and I had to meet up with some people at another bar so she could watch the game, or we would have tagged along with you guys.


By the way I'm going to a WINGS PLAYOFF game Saturday !!:D
I just had to blurt that out !

Chuck--Oh ya it was interesting!! Next time you'll have to come along. I have the choose of going to the wings thursday night or saturday---strongly thinking sat. will be the one though. Maybe i'll see ya there---i'm not sure where these seats will be though, sucks when there free--we'll probably be in the olympia anyway. You got me thinking now about my drive --i might strip it again and put some filler in the pits.

Let me know which day you will be going, maybe we can all hook up.

If you have any major hole pits it could actually slow you down, because it's disturbing the water as the drive slices through it.
I hope I don't have any problems with the filler flaking off. I just used auto motive Bondo.
