Thought this plant was so much more interesting than the glass boats. Lots of man hours in building a toon.

3 or 4 a day I think. They are also providing materials to a sister company, Xcursion.

Nice to hear all of the manufacturers were very upbeat about next year. It's been tough on them over the last 5 - 6 years.

You should have swung into Bennington since you were that close, we are just about 5 miles down the toll road.

Haven't heard recently what they were doing a day, we are running almost 30 a day so I need 3-4 boats by 7:30 in the morning, I am getting ready to go in today for a full run.

We have been running the center fuels for 5-6 years now, It usually takes other companies a year or two to catch up and start running all our innovations, I will give them this, I wish my shop was that clean.

Interesting.
