  1. No, I dont. Maybe, Jim Kogler, at (800) 344-1281, Customer Service, Monday thru Thursday. I dont think he will, but it's worth a try.
  2. Well, there's no accounting for taste. His wife is very beautiful, a lovely lady, and he'd rather post pictures of boats? Go figure, huh?
  3. THANKS LUDDY! Your always a great asset to the site. Your hard work is really appreciated. Now, how come your not on that cruise with your very lovely wife? You'd rather hang out with us?
  4. HAPPY B'DAY LUDDY! BTW: As lovely as your wife is, your a very lucky man. Enjoy your cruise.
  5. Good topic and question Jim. Last few years, a dealer attending a show, spending $20,000-$30,000 and more for the space, not to mention the logistics, all the realted expenses, vs. the boats sold at the show, makes for a very valid question. For the last few years, an often spoken about issue. You know what I'm saying without my saying all of it to you, of course. I think shows are very good for the consumer. An opportunity to see all under one roof, with all of us trying to earn the business. On the other hand, how much longer can the expense of the major shows be justified? I've just spent over two weeks moving boats, setting up the Miami display, working in the display every day, then breaking it down and transporting boats again. You dont need me to tell you as to the costs of it all. And, for the last two years we've scaled down our display and expenses substantially, both Miami and Lauderdale. Also, as you well know, the $20,000-$30,000 that I mentioned has nothing to do with the costs of shows like Miami, Lauderdale, and yours. Very good question you posted.
  6. I was so involved with my own issues and problems re Miami, I missed the presentation. Mike Collins, the new hero at CONTENDER walked me over to the display. I'm pretty impressed. No, it's not a new idea at all, but,I think, done well. I wish them luck and the financial backing required. The former we all live. The latter is a little harder to come by in todays world. I hope they do well.
  7. I was so involved with my own issues, didn't even know about it. Collins told me about it and we walked over to look at them. Pretty impressive stuff.
  8. Your efforts are always appreciated and a great service to us all. THANKS!
  9. You've always been a great service to all of us. Thanks for your efforts.
  10. You've demonstrated to all that your a gentleman. THANK YOU!
  11. You dont really think it was Mod 4 posting, do you?
  12. "Restraint"? Not a big deal. I expect a heckler now and then, it goe's with the territory. Fot the most part I'm not beat up very much. After all, God invented a sense of humor, and alchohol, for such occasions. She anticipated that for me.
