the old cigarette plant (pics)
 

we decided to sneek over to the old plant yesterday

it was a quiet Sunday and no one was around

we found a couple of opportunities present themselves to accidentally get inside (Ha Ha) and we took some pics to share

let us know what you think it was a cool and sobering day

hmmm i think we got somthing better that that!!!!!!!

big secret shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yippppeeeeee ! Souvenirs!

While we were walking around the different offices there were "tons" and I mean "tons" of notebooks and papers. I picked up a 3 ring binder with many papers in it. It appeared to have production orders or build orders in it. I brought it with us and that night we went through it. As it turns out the original production orders for our personal 1998 Top Gun were in it!! It had five revisions to it. What were the chances of finding the "Birth Certificate" to our boat in there?? We cross referenced the serial numbers to the engines and they matched!! Also found Parnell Olsons (Nauti Kitty) old 1999 Top Gun production order. It is now Primal Instincts boat!! There were F2 race boat orders too but we cant figure out which ones they are! I guess we have to fly back tomorrow and do the "you know what" in one of the offices!!

Attached are two of the 5 revisions (last two)

next one

try that again

hmmm well you get the picture

something isnt working right tonight

Same shop as your post#13?

hey george , you hijacked my pic:D :D :D

Hey Boatme... I think it was great you found your boat's birth certificate... that is priceless!... to me... that would have to be the holy grail.

No, I brought it back to life!:D
I had to do it, for history's sake.
Can you tell us when you took this?

2 years ago at the end of april. went to tne keys and hit miami on the way back. if i would have known what was going to happen i would have burned a few rolls of film.:(

Before I could get to ask what souvenirs you might have been tempted by... never would I have imagined that you found the build order for your boat.... Gawd ... it's almost like divine intervention :cool:

wow, thats amazing on your boat order!... Give us a little hint as to your new found part of history?:D ;)
