Any new news. Are they making boats or just cleaning up?

I hear they are ramping up to start making matresses at the end of the first quarter. You do realize it is a matress factory now, don't you?!

My guess is there is a lot of work to do to get everything in order to start production. Plus it makes a person wonder if they are doing any mold work to get them ready, or tweaking them in any fashion?

Assuming they will open, I actually think it is a good sign that they are taking their time and making sure they get it right.

Be patient folks. The word is still late March or April. Like MP said, they need to get their ducks in a row first. I was told they are working on list pricing now. Everyone knows how much prices have escalated on these expensive toys in the last couple of years.

On the surface pricing may seem fairly simple. I bet it is not. How accurate are the old parts lists, if they are even available? How many parts have changed? How many distributers have changed? Will there be added features that have not been priced? What are the current prices for the materials and parts?

What amount of labor, and at what price an hour will it take them to produce boats now?

Are the answers in Trivial Pursuit?
