Well first lets Incorporate. 8) Then we will sell actuall shares to those who want to invest. Then we will really knows whos in. ::) Hopefully we have a CPA on the board here. He can keep us out of trouble. :-* Then we can find a cheap place to manufacture, ;) and then get started. Or maybe we start garage style. Then out grow it. You know all the corporate fishing trips and oceanographic research may take alot of our profits. :) In the begining. :D

Vic...there you go w/ the word CHEAP...it'll KILL this project... ;) :)...ECONOMICAL...that's what we gotta be thinkin'....no CHEAP...

Anyway, you're right about we gotta find a place to manufacture...several posts back, someone mentioned Eastern North Carolina's mfgring of boats...Gradys, etc...I got to thinkin' that there are probably retired guys in that area who used to work for those mfgrs or that have left those companys for other reasons, but have the knowledge and skills to layup a bullet-proof, no cracks hull...the GOOD STUFF... ;D...

Is there anyone in that area who can do some nosin' around and see if we can locate our man?...

Franco, you're readin' my mind...seems to me w/ all the alternatives to wood these days, why use it?...my cut at it would be to go wood-free throughout the hull...

Re: 1980 Welcraft Retail Price List
 

Wood free is the only way to go!! I would not want it any other way!

MJ, looked pretty sunny in the no-wax photos from earlier...winter still hangin' around up there?...

MJ endorsed...no wood...how can you fight w/ that?...

Hey, MJ...4 more posts and you'll have as many posts as the year model of your boat...has anybody else done THAT?... :o...

Does Ray Hunt have any grand-children?

I'm in NC, I know a guy that used to lay up boats. I'll ask him if he knows any old codgers like the one's we're lookin for.
