Harry,

It sounds like you desire to get the boat you want, overrides your desire to
buy unionmade. Most people do agree with you.

Is Mercruiser union made? If not, at least they are made in America by
Americans. Why did you buy a imported motor?

Aren't you the one who said the quotes listed below. The only question I
have did Yamaha make reparations to those forced into slave labor camps?

(The following was retrieved by typing in author Harry Krause subject
Japanese. Somehow I knew Harry was a hypocrite.)

"You just keep waving your Rising Sun flag. Me, I'm waiting to see how
many billions in reparations the Japanese corporations will cough off to
pay off those they forced into slave labor camps during WW II.

The Germans paid up. The Japanese never coughed up a dime.

Their payments are due.

"I prefer the Mitsubishi label, reminds me of the A6M-Zero-Sen, that
wonderful product used with great effectiveness at Pearl Harbor and then
later in those heroic Kamikaze attacks. "

Please. There's a long list of war atrocities committed by the Japanese
against civilians. If you want a single reference, just check out the
Rape of Nanking. About 300,000 Chinese civilians were slaughtered by the
Emperor's troops in less than two months.

There are many who feel Japan has never been contrite enough over its
crimes against humanity. "

"There has been some serious talk about forcing Japan and Japanese
corporations to pay compensation to those who were forced to work as
slave laborers for the "Empire" during World War II. Some of the German
corporations recently agreed to compensate those who were forced into
slavery on its behalf during World War II."

What a fab idea. He can have a bronze plaque placed on it, stating:

"From the wonderful folks who brought you Pearl Harbor."


It looks to me that this Harry guy is a complete farce and is just jerking
everyones chain. My guess is he shops at Wal-Mart every weekend. I can see
him wearing a shirt that says "I'm with stupid" and an arrow pointing to his
fat wife wearing purple shorts. Both of them waddling up and down the
aisles looking for Chinese products to buy.

He's a union member, so buying union-made might be a conflict of

(I'm trying to help rationalize this for you, Harry, but there's no
good
explanation I guess).


You have a list of 25' pilothouse fishing boats produced in the United
States by a unionized workforce?

24' Alumaweld Formula Vee with Evinrude outboards...towed behind a Ford
F150.

Union-made ain't too appealing, eh?
