What a day!! Met my bro and went over to the Correct Craft factory where Dave [Godfather] took us on a 1st class tour of the entire operation. Very impressive, with a dedicated workforce committed to turning out the quality products we have all come to expect. An extra special treat was sitting down with Mr. Ralph for an hour of his priceless personal memories.
Thanks again Dave and John...the day was so enjoyable it almost made me forget about getting rear-ended on the way over there! Bill |

Well...cool it was. If you come down here and do not go see Dave at the factory it will be your loss. I don't know how he does it...Bill and I took up just about his whole afternoon. But the tour he shows you is well worth your time. And as Bill said...getting to spend an hour with Mr. Ralph is..well..priceless.
Of course we had to visit Hooters with an old friend from Lakeland and Ohio. Highlight of Bill's visit had to be sitting down at the computer and putting our skills together to get him on the profile and get some pictures up. If what we did gets Keith's approval you should be able to see our success in a day or two...then again Keith might have a hard time figuring out what we were trying to do! Was not a good weekend for Bill's vehicles tho....both got damaged..one here..one in Ohio. Go easy on him CQ and HW...he is not yet aware of how easily what he says could end up in someones quote..or signature line. ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"... |

Let me first say to both of you, For two brothers that grow up behind 12 Correct Crafts and loved every minute. I think in my book you deserve a "Grand Tour". I'm also glad we had the time with Mr. Ralph telling us about his boat shows stories. I just wished we had more time as always. You already know that Mr. Ralph loved talking with the two of you. He made the comment: you guy's helped him out at the shows. And I know everyone misses seeing "The Icon Mr. Ralph at the shows. But he is there in his heart and soul. I was telling him about the London boat show, that was posted on the site. And thats when he started telling us his stories in his life at the shows. Again the pleasure was mine giving two brothers a afternoon at the factory. P.S Bill, that was the word I was looking for "Icon". 
And remember you saw history at the factory, the first tow tower installed on a closed bow ever... 
Dave ------------- Jbear, said to me wow if it was'nt for this site we would never had met for this to happen.... |
