Why not just give Garmin a call and ask? You also might want to PM semperfifishing over on THT, he'll know...

Yes, it does, don't need the GSD 20 anymore...

Oh shit, MBR=FishFactory... Sup, Doug?

I've never worked for Scout...

Oh PBR, BTW, any boat company that vacates a plant? Trust me bud, it's not going to be sold soon. EPA soil samples will ensure that...

PBR, Unfortunately, unless the Proline and Donzi models move back down here to the vacant PL plant, the likelihood of those former employees finding work is not very good. Citrus County is very well known for being "anti-business", not so much the government, but the citizenry. If you can imagine Ft. Myers, just move it north a bit. Retirees, in a small area, nice and quiet, and they want to keep it that way. And you know, as well as I, that no one, especially the management of PL/Donzi, was really going to bend over backwards to assist PL/Donzi employees with getting them jobs at the Fountain plant when there were already thousands of well qualified employees in NC that needed the work. That was just a bunch of bullshit, you know it, I know it, and so do the people who said it. PR was all that was... Remember when Wellcraft pulled up stakes and high-tailed it to Cadillac? Talked to a few of my old WC buddies at that time. Genmar offered them $700 to assist in re-locating...$700? What the phuck does that do to move an entire household, sell a house, rent a place, drive back and forth 1300 miles...in other words, have a nice day... They don't give a shit about you or I, plain and simple. I've been in this business a long time, I know...

That would be refreshing...

I don't defend the management, by "them", I assume that's who/what you mean. I defend the product and the people who built them... The management? They can all kiss my ass.

CJ, I worked for Wellcraft/Aquasport from '94-'00, with a short stint at Hydra-Sorts. Then, in that miserable year, took a job at Intrepid helping them get caught up. They got caught up, we got let go. Went up the road to Tarpon Springs the next Monday morning to Stamas Yacht, started the next day, May '00 to Feb. '06. Applied for and got an engineering position at Proline Feb 20, '06, was there 'til got laid off in '09 (nobody was left), started my own business, haven't looked back since... So SOME OF US do have, and have had interactions with these companies...

It wasn't my intent but I stand by my post. And I stand by mine...as I said, I was asked about the situation, as apparently I have knowledge others may not, I commented, as was asked (question mark does indicate a question, correct?), and you came on a public forum spouting false accusations towards me. So, this time, shall we try to have an intelligent discussion about what is going on with the situation up there in Washington, or do you have more neat stuff you can share with us? You know, that REALLY intelligent stuff you put out there for all of us to ponder? OOPS, used the word ponder twice...

You must lead one miserable life...

You want to say that to my face, bud? I have ZERO allegience to PL, or any other company, for that matter. The question was asked, I was addressed, I put my opinions (with some inside info) out there, and you attack me with FALSE statements!!! GO F YOURSELF!!!!

So this is what I know, from my good friend brad1951 (if you are over "there", you know him). It more or less is a legal issue as to who owns what, who can do what with what names, in other words, a bunch of legal bullshit. Both sides have TONS of money, so $58M to them is like a dollar to us...just a bunch of rich little boys and their egos, fighting over who's ball it is...and probably spending 5 times the worth of the ball! My buddy Brad? He's a supervisor at the plant, PLs, Donzis, Fountains. He's been on unemployment since this whole thing hit the fan. Monday, he's headed up to get his boat, his tools, and put his furniture in storage. So there you have it. BTW, I wired the Proline 26 Super Sport that Joe Worley pulls around behind his 100'+ Bertram, he's one of the Plaintiffs...guess he ain't hurting too bad!!!

At times, it seems that way... Nothing really new in hull forms, engines have become stagnant (variations of the same theme), CCs get bigger and bigger, in short, nothing new, innovative, ground-breaking, just the same old boating stuff...which I kinda like!

Wiley, c'mon, dude, that's 2 years old... Just needed to lose some weight...

Hello!!!! Anybody here??? These are the playoffs, boys!!!

Well Mist, looks like you and me...I split todays games after the NO meltdown...

Anybody? Hell of an NO/SF game (sorry, snapperhead!!) And it doesn't look to good for Timmy and the horsies...

Maybe it will happen to you...whatever it is the f*** you're talking about...

CMP, What's the cost of a single Cable Craft universal cable, say 22'?

Swap them out. Teleflex XTremes. Problem is, your Honda has one of the most effed up rigging setups going into the lower pan. Study the rigging attachments before you go ahead with the cable swap...

Think I'll wait until next year...and according to the Mayan calender, it's 12/21/12, not the 31st... And has not this "subject" been discussed over and over?

I like mine...ever been there?

Dude, you are getting REALLY old!!! Go play somewhere else!!

So how many you guys been to Ron Jon's...especially in the good old days when t-shirts were $5? And the store was 1 big room on the corner of...drum roll please...520 and A1A!
