Very Cool Site!!

I looked up Kansas City and the two guy's that are into Navigational Equipment would have to be the guy's with Garmin GPS. Heck I went to a Christmas Party of theirs about 10 years ago and sat at the same table as these guys!! this was back when they only had about 15 employees!! Then Get this the girl took a leave of absence and went to south America on a missionary trip!!! I guess she is back there now, but I bet she lost a bunch of pay and seniority!!! I remember even back then I told her about how that company was going to take off!! and she never got that excited about it!!

Not surprising, he is appealing to the masses with the cheap boats and he makes a lot of them. Probably got a nice chunk of change when Brunswick bought them too.
