Harry,
Thanks for the reply. I am sure everyone would love to see a picture of your Lobster Boat, will you put a picture on your web site? I am sure even Gould would like to see a picture of your Lobster Boat. I would be willing to put a picture of my boats and a picture of my face if you do. "Harry Krause" wrote in message ...

I haven't heard about your 36' Lobster boat in years. Do you have a picture you can posts on your web site? Yes, I do. You need to go back and read my response again. This time, try to parse through its meaning: "Yes, I do." -- Bush and the NeoConvicts who control him are destroying the once-great United States. |

Harry,
Very nice joke, it is good to see you still are at the top of your game. As far as the note from my ISP, as soon as I get one I will post a copy for you. By the way, I have found McGuires Gold Class Leather Cleaner / Conditioner care does any excellent job of keeping my Corinthian leather seats on the Hat very supple w/o the oily feel of many other products I have tried.

Such history. I wonder, if the dad owned the business, what did all the partners own? I read it to say Harry's dad & the partners owned the marina...but Harry's dad owned the boat 'store' all by himself. Isn't that what you understood? |

Everything was sold...every cotter pin, every quart of oil, 30 days after I started. For near full-retail, too. Harry, I am curious, how did you depress the market if you were selling for full-retail? Why are you curious? Are you planning to transport yourself back to 1974 in New Haven County and go into the retail boating business? I'll indulge you. I didn't sell for full-retail, as my father had. I sold for *near* full retail, which, in those days, for the lines my dad sold, was unheard of in the pre-season. Remember, this was in the days where a franchise meant something, and among the "something" was a protected territory, meaning there were no competitors selling the same brand name within a certain area. "You want a Cruisers, Inc., 23-footer with an I/O? Fine, the price is $15,000 or whatever, and I'll toss in some cushions." There were three large dealerships in that part of Connecticut in those days, my father's, which was in West Haven and Milford, another in West Haven, and one in Branford. Two of my father's best friends were the owners of the other large dealerships. At a memorial for my dad later that year, the two close dealer friends told me that our "sale" had killed off nearly 20% of their sales for the year, and had apparently driven two of the weaker dealerships right out of business. Of the three large dealerships, only one is still open today, operated by the grandson of the founder. All were started just before or just after WW II. Last I heard, only one of the original proprietors was still alive. The irony is that my mother and I had tried to talk my father into selling off the dealership five years before he died. The retail property was worth far more than any boat dealership could generate in sales and profit, and his interest in the marina was practically a liquid asset. After he died, the other owners of the marina bought us out at the first partners' meeting, and we sold the store property in West Haven six months later. The buyers of that parcel razed the boat store and warehouse and put up a strip mall. Kind of sad. My mom ended up doing what she and my dad talked about doing. She bought a nice place in Palm Beach and lived there in the land of perpetual sunshine for nearly another 20 years before she died. Yes, I contemplated taking over the family business. But fortunately, that thought passed in about 20 seconds. A new lie for the list thanks:-) He just counters lies with more lies:-) !!!! K 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 PR Contacts For media inquiries, please contact the individual listed below: Harry Krause ULLICO Inc. (202) 682-7957 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:-) |

This is something many people, including our good friend on Lake Hartwell would like to know.

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.
