   Greetings All:

These are trying times for many. The condition of the economy has an impact on everyone, not just in the USA, but world-wide. The marine industry is suffering like almost all others. 

Fortunately, unlike boat sales companies, boat service companies like ours are doing, OK. The current financial conditions that encourage postponement of large purchases like a new boat or car have had a much smaller impact on conservative spending such as maintenance and repairs to boats that families already own.

Boat usage was much lower this last summer, compared to previous seasons, due to higher than expected fuel costs but with fuel cost falling, usage has surged. This should be a great summer to own a boat.

With that in mind I hope we can help keep those boats running smoothly. If you need any assistance and/or have any questions, be sure to contact us. I'm sure we can help.

As a closing note, I sympathize with all those sucked in by and suffering from the massive pyramid scheme perpetrated on the American investor and/or home buyer. I hope our new president finds the courage to throw all those responsible into jail and seize their assets to be returned to the victims.

Happy Boating to All!

This web site isn't trying to be political and/or  politically correct. But, someone emailed this item to me and I just couldn't resist. 

 

Let's see if I understand the state of personal responsibility in America in the last 20 years.
>>
>>If a woman burns her thighs on the hot coffee she was holding in her lap while driving, she blames the restaurant.
>>
>>If your teen-age son kills himself, you blame the rock 'n' roll musician he liked.
>>
>>If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer your family blames the tobacco company.
>>
>>If your daughter gets pregnant by the football captain you blame the school for poor sex education.
>>
>>If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, you blame the bartender.
>>
>>If your cousin gets AIDS because the needle he used to shoot heroin was dirty, you blame the government for not providing clean ones.
>>
>>If the congress impeaches a president that admitted to perjury and lying under oath, You blame the congress.
>>
>>If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.
>>
>>And, if your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.
>>
>>And, if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilots at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the deceased blames the airline.
>>
>>God bless America, land of the free, home of the blame.

         Makes you wonder sometimes, Don't it?

Editorial: 02/08/2009
    This is our eleventh  year and we have met and talked to a lot of friendly people. This web site is about the questions people ask us most. The stories we'd like to post have come from persons who would rather not have  their story told but, we respect these person's wishes, too.
   There is a thread that often runs through these person's stories and that is that they wish they had learned a bit more before jumping into a boat purchase and/or repair. 
   As fun as boating can be... there is a slight learning curve. This learning curve can get expensive if you didn't do your homework first.
   Our tip is to read all you can, ask other boaters, and trust your senses. Safe/Trouble free boating is no accident. 

What do you think?

 

 
 

A Blast from the Past.

  He claimed to have sold Connie Ray his first windshield.
For many years, He manufactured wood boats on the South Side of Chicago. He could sell refrigerators in Alaska.
Who is he?
