Only one guy is 5 weeks behind, the others are only three. Look at the employees, stinky Kevin shows up for a few hours and leaves. The rest of them could't get employed anywhere else.

BTW, did the guy from the Bahamas who bought his boat 4 years ago ever get it? What about the triple engine fish boat, you know the golf course guy. Its been two years for him.


Maverick, did Danny ever pay you back or are you still buying his BS.

Yeah, Nice Boats if you EVER get it.

at that level, 3 weeks or 5 weeks, that is really rough on that type of worker who typically lives week by week....i heard the Bahamas guy could get NASTY if needed. What a mess, just wish this guy would do the right thing~

Simple,

the running plug had a pair of black 502 efi's, plywood deck to simulate the weight of a real deck, no cabin, no engine hatch. Just a bare bones hull with a two man bolster, a steering wheel, and the bare necessities screwed to thte makeshift dash.

The prototypes bottom delaminated shortly after that.

Then comes along Koss to help Rusty build the actual final product by building a mold from the Prototype. The deck was cut by a CNC machine in Northern Florida. The deck had several changes made to it as Koss stated earlier as it was dropped when trying to manuver it and it cracked and had to be repaired.

The first white Pig with blue Powerplay down the side was born. Ran in the low 80's with 600-700 Cobras but broke drives almost every time out. The boat did not have a full cabin at first, it was added after the boat was built.

This boat is now for sale in the classifieds and has been converted to Pulse Drives. A business aquantinence of Dans and a friend of his put up money and motors to help Dan fund the project. Once again after the broken promises the boat was offed to National Marine for $240K so they could get paid back- I would imagine in lieu of getting paid a visit from the not so friendly Miami Knee breakers.

A couple other 525 boats hit the streets and ran in the low eighties as the lamination schedule was lightened up after the first pig.

So now you have it, any other questions?

That doesn't sound good at all.
