I am selling quite a few through my website over at OSO's sister site, THT. Working on larger distribution to retail stores now. Its been much busier than what I expected starting it as more of a part time / hobby thing. Currently have about 300 in service since June.
I think you will see these at boat shows and dealers soon...hopefully :)

Well, I've switched companies and roles a few times since I responded to this thread 8 years ago...



Main gig:
Chief Security Strategist, Symantec Public Sector

I spend most of my time working with all sectors of Government assisting them in understanding the spectrum of conflict across IT in regards to hackers, espionage, sabotage, hacktivism (WikiLeaks); and working with said Government organizations/agencies developing and executing strategies to stay ahead of the enemy—within and beyond. It’s a pretty good day and age to do what I do.

Side gig:
Factory Representative, Active Thunder Boats

Several years ago, when I bought my Active Thunder (pre-owned), I was fortunate to form a great friendship with Pat & Diane Haughey, owners of Active Thunder Boats. I enjoy all arenas of this sport, including helping friends find the right boat (sometimes an AT :D ). I’ve bought a few boats & sold a few boats; but most of all, I truly cherish all the friends I’ve made along the way.
