Default After a few drinks it slipped out

The other night I was out having a few PBR's with a friend "in the know". We got to talking about how he has not been around the past few weeks...... And he let it slip. He told me that the Korean's are working on building a line of boats.... Completely over there. Said it sounds like some cutting edge stuff. I'm not sure what he has to do with it... But I don't want to cost him any $$ if he has a deal going, but I have a feeling things could get interesting 2014.... More like 2015.

Well, after drinking too much one night I kind of let out of the bag to my wife that I had a 14" pecker.

We know how that story ended.

On a more serious note: Toyota kind of tried. We know how that worked out.

Someone would have to buy out Mercruiser, and then get GM to keep supplying the motors.

I know you said boat building, but that's not where the money's at unless a small company.

I agree, I don't see anything coming out of it. We all know it takes good ole American muscle to get these boats up on plane, most of foreign stuff, especially ones just getting into the car market don't really have big displacement motors. What kind of boats are we talking about here anyways? I could see some high end cruisers with diesel power, but nothing else.
