I wonder how many models they will build.

I would think one, would just be the start of things to come.

The boat in that article looks nothing like the Skater 399 diff hull and diff deck plus the Skater has staggered motors not side by side. I guess it's the old unused hull.

Thats it. That exact picture is in the "top secret" files at work.

Well that sucks if true.

It would have been nice to see a few of the ex-employees get some employment.

The boating industry is in real tough shape right now. :(

Was told today that this deal fell into a big hole. Don't know for sure but thats what I was told. Alan

Your right. One of the guys involved took a position elsewhere. Id sure like to see someone local make it happen. Id love to be involved.

The story about the one fella who is not too well, was a sad story.

Sometimes things in life just take a while to work out for the better.

When you're right in the middle of going through it all though, it seems like you'll never make it through.

YES IT IS A SAD STORY. I know him and his brothers. His one brother used to work at Checkmate years ago. I'm sorry to say he was killed in a car crash. His other brother lives close to my Dad. Bucyrus is like one big happy family. Everybody knows everyone

I am a Member of the Moose Lodge 669 here in Bucyrus have been for 28 years. There used to be a group of about 10 to fifteen members that would take a fishing trip up to Canada every summer. They would take their trucks so far then a train then boat the rest of the way to the cabins they used to stay in. They used too tell some good fish stories when they got back. Used to bring back some big fish also. Alan

Any idea where they went Alan?

My Dad used to be a real avid fisherman and he used to go to all kinds of crazy places where you could only fly in via a float plane.

Some of the size of fish he caught were just insane. And he threw the majority of them back before it was cool too.
