Factory Tour?

[Luke]

Does anyone know if CC offers factory tours on weekends, or only on weekdays?

[Frost]

Only during the week, you come in Mon. - Fri. and see us work

The tour starts at 10:00 AM. It is very interesting to see the boats built. The factory tour on the website helps but it is no replacement for going there. I am not sure if it is true but I heard a rumor that they were going to quit offering the tours because they need all the space they can get there. Frost, I would have emailed you but it was a spur of the moment thing when I went but I am sure that it is not the only time that I will be there. If anyone has the opportunity to go, do it!! It is very very cool.

I went many, many years ago when I was at Disney World. I was 9-ish and I took a day out of Disney World to go to the CC Factory Tour, when I didn't even really know the process...how devoded was I! lol...Anyway...I remember walking through with a Maloon guy, and we saw all of the steps. We saw them put that really strong white stuff on that looks like paper machey, and what we found interesting was that (this was 2000 I think b/c this was when the frst started with teh"N" logo) the pin stripe taping on the "N" logo was done by hand each time and you could see very noticible difference between each boat, I found that as a good thing. And there were two parts that were the coolest. The first one is when we saw the boats being flipped. It scared the sh*( out of me! they flipped a boat with a tower and not only did i think it was gonna hit the ground, but i thought the thing was gonna fall!!! and the other cool part was when we took a break and got a soda in this really cool (as in temp.) room in the middle of all the commotion. Not only was i thirsty, but lemme tell ya, that glue and paint they use on the gell coat sure is strong! **** it'll put u to sleep. lol. But if i had the chance, i would go again in a heartbeat. We may go down, as in me and my dad, to test drive a 211.

Sounds like a good time. Kind of figured it was only on weekdays, but wanted to make sure. I'm going to be down there mid February and thought I'd check it out.

[Frost]

Space is very tight, you dont have much room to move the boats around anymore... I would say thats a good thing

Frost,
Is the rumor true that they are going to cut off tours in the future? You guys really need to get into the new factory!! That will be awesome but I am sure it will be a huge project to move everything.

luke, when are you going down? reid on ccfan ( who owns SEVEN vintage nautiques) is going in febuary also. it would be cool to get a planet nautique ccfan clan and schedule a group tour if that is possible. i can beg walt to let us in.

i've hooked up with factory reps at the winter boat shows and have toured the local supra/moonba, mastercrap and aztec facilities. very interesting process.

it would be nice to pull the kids out of school and make an orlando run.

[Luke]

I'll be down there Feb. 11-13th. I'm going to be going to Murray & Moye's Boarding school though, and doubt I'll have much time to do anything else.

I think I'll get into Orlando around 5ish on the 11th. What day were you guys planning on?

[Frost]

SN as far as I know, no they will not stop giving tours. They come thru the plant about twice a week or so...

You better let me know if you come here for a tour

[FixerOstuff]

Too bad I didn't take a picture of your ugly but to post up here so these guys can hunt you down! LOL

[Frost]

lol, that would be rough... I was kind of shocked you figured me out... Hey it was great to see though.....

[rocco]

i GOT THERE CARD.....E-mail and Phone number to call in Orlando...

I spoke with Jeff at the CC plant yesterday and he says that they are not offering tours until Apr 04. I am going to be a few miles from the plant on 5 Mar and wanted to take the tour.

CC Tours

Did Jeff say why? Maybe they are working on a new top secret SANTE!
