Harry,

That is a major accomplishment to unload all of your dad's inventory
in record time for "near full retail". You should be commended for
doing everything you can to minimize the negative impact on the other
marina's in the area. I am curious, since you only discounted the
items slightly, how did you get everyone to drive past all the other
marinas and boat stores, if you were just slightly discounting the
product.



D'oh. Perhaps you ought to enroll in a "reading for comprehension" program.

There were only a few "large" dealerships in New Haven County back then.
Most of the dealerships were NOT located at marinas, but were
free-standing stores, usually some distance from the water. My father's
main store was some miles from Long Island Sound, for example. It was on
the Boston Post Road, US Route 1, the main commercial route in those
days between New York and Boston. There was no need to get people to
drive by the store, since thousands upon thousands did that every day of
the week. If you were trailering your boat from New Haven to Milford,
for example, you'd just about *have* to drive by the store unless you
wanted to take a bunch of back roads. The Connecticut Turnpike did not
pull much local traffic off the Boston Post Road, because the CT was a
TOLL road back then.

He did not sell new boats and motors at the marina, just some
accessories and parts. As managing partner, he did allow owners to sell
their own boats at the marina, with or without a broker.

As I stated, he was "the" franchise dealer for the lines he sold. If you
wanted the products he sold, you either bought them from him or you
drove a considerable distance to find another dealer who handled them.
And there was no guarantee the distant dealer's price would be much
lower, if it was lower. There were a couple of boat lines my dad sold
that you'd have to drive several hundred miles to find a competitive
dealer.

For outboard boats, these were the days before "factory pre-rig," and
outdrives were just beginning to gain in popularity. While there were
factory suggested price sheets for outboards, I don't recall seeing any
for boats. Their prices were set by the dealers.

There. See. Now you know a little about how the boat business used to
be. Someday, you'll not be able to use that information to buy your
first boat.




Dumb de dumb ....

Just harvesting new lies don't mind me.

Anyway Krause lie of the day is severely challenged by Gould's latest NG
spam, but Krause still takes the cake.

Here's where this liar works, the lowest of the low, a spruiker for a
union rip off, he works in the "PR" dept of a union, that about tells it all

Here's some of Harry's lies for you, just to bring back old
memories:-)

But if I may?? before you read; take a look at these passages from an
article about the bent union rip off, who rip off other unionists,
(honour among .......???)

ULLICO
Union Pension-Owned Company Set to Lose $20-$30 Million
Its stock windfall from the bankrupt Global Crossing now gone,
Georgine, former head of the AFL-CIO's Bldg. &
Construction Trades Dept., blamed chief financial officer John Grelle for
the losses. Days later, Grelle resigned in protest, blasting Georgine for
not selling the company jet, which costs $3 million a year.

N.B. Now did you see that!!!!!??? Harry as you'll see below "claims"
his wife has a corporate jet!!!! He's making these stories up as the
jealous junior mail person in the PR dept!!!!

There was no indication if Grelle also called on Georgine and other union
boss directors of Ullico to return the more than $6 million they made in
inside deals of Ullico stock in 2000 and 2001. In the late 90s, Ullico was
able to buy Global Crossing stock at its initial public offering (IPO)
price. By 1999, a $7.6 million investment had mushroomed to $335 million.
After pricing its own stock at a set $25 per share, Ullico directors changed
the rules, setting a new price at the beginning of each year.

So these rip offs were raking it in at the expense of the workers in
many unions & I'll suggest that the fantasy boats that Harry claims are
HIS OWN are in fact the play things of the execs of the insurance CO, I
also suggest that's his only involvement is as the boat boy for his
union bosses!!!


Global
Crossing spiraled toward bankruptcy, and Ullico's stock took a tumble, the
Ullico directors who had bought their stock at $54 a share were given two
opportunities to sell it back, the first time for $146 a share, the second
time for $75. As Georgine and the other Ullico officials made $6.7 million
in profits, the union pension funds that own Ullico could not take advantage
of the same deal.

And clearly they have a very well practiced liar in the PR dept mail
room to help post out those bogus spin releases:-)
