      We must have a similar sense of humor.

        Mike,

        That is a nice honor on CC's part. I guess one of the perks of living in FL or at least close by.

        I don't understand the "Jewish" comment, I'm not Jewish, but I don't understand its place on the form.

        I have been to the plant a couple times and always had a great tour.

        I'd like to see CC offer a more custom stereo package, maybe they can work a deal with Wetsound, who in my opinion have the best equipment right now.

        Another question might be their overall US territory coverage. The economy has hurt and put under a lot of dealers and for example I don't have a quality dealer in the Pittsburgh, PA market. I wish they had a backup plan. Currently I refuse to purchase a boat from a sub-par dealer, so I'm forced to either keep what I have, purchase used or look at another brand (the last is extreme). Lastly how does CC plans to help PCM have market coverage. If I need something done to my PCM motor, i'm currently taking my boat to a Tige dealer that is PCM certified.

          You're right Crad, CC should be honored to have me. Just Kiddin'!!!

          As for the Jewish comment, I assume it's because CC holds steadfastly to Christian beliefs. Just guessing.

          I consider PN members extended family, so I will ask Bill if it's OK to "interview" him, but if he want's to concentrate on my our getting to meet and know him and the staff, as well as the tour, I'm certain you all will understand if I drop it like a bag of rocks. I will try!!!

          Regards!!!

            Thanks Mike,

            Yes, I'm sure your drop like a rock, so let your wife do the interviewing, she won't cave.

            Also see if you can use Bill hand print to get into the special room. I think it is left of the molds looking left.

              I was part of a group of 4 who started a company several years ago. 3 were Christians and our mission statement included that we were a Christian company run on Christian values. Like CC we had Bible studies on site. Though we were overtly Christian only about 40% of our employees were Christians. We actually had more Hindu's than Christians much of the time. About 10% of our employees were Jewish and I'd hire everyone of them again. We also ended up partnering with 2 companies in Israel that were very overtly Jewish... Given their location and values I think I'd be surprised if CC didn't have some Jewish employees. HOWEVER, doesn't matter. What's critical is if they make a quality product and provide good customer service.

                Now that I think about, my wife is gorgeous, so Bill will would probably sing like a canary.

                Do you want me to use Bill's hand while still attached to Bill?! >;-)

                    yes the satirical joke was that they are a christian values company so would jews work there. considering you can't even factor that in when interviewing someone for a job i know they do and if not it's not because they aren't willing to hire them. and i was raised jewish and you've got to have some levity about your own religion. if it is a mostly nautique lunch my questions would be about the plans for the future and if they want to broaden their customer base with a "price point" boat.

                      I'll try and use my diplomacy and get some answers.
                      BTW, had you'd mentioned you were Jewish, I would've got it................and laughed. >;-)
