Just thought I'd try to get Dave to work on his report/pics, if he went.:D

I actually got the wife to go with me over to Eliminator yesterday. I have to say, Bob Leach has built an impressive place!

I believe it was Dan that gave us the grand tour. (I hope I got his name right.) Bob Leach was with other visitors/customers. We were led from one cavernous room to another, with absolutely gorgeous boats in every one. From the consignment sales area, to the mold room, to upholstery, rigging, repair, etc., everything looked awesome!

Any builder would be envious of the amount of space, cleanliness and organization of the new facility.

Sorry I didn't take any pics. I'll leave that responsiblity to Dave.:skull:D

The one thing that impressed me the most, as a layman, is the gelwork that they do there. The finish on every Eliminator boat is absolutely beautiful!

And I have to say that I always thought that owning an Eliminator was well out of my price range, but there are some nice deals in their showroom now that, if the economy (and my job) holds together, are very reasonably priced for a top tier boat.:thumbsup:thumbsup

As impressive the place is, I believe this statement to be false!!

Doubtful ANY boat manufacture would want that "Golden Bullet" over their head in these times!!

I went last saturday, my "2nd" open house at Eliminator's new place. IMHO the most impressive aspect of the facility is the fact that Bob Leach ( The Owner ) is ALWAYS there with a smile on his face and a firm handshake to greet any & all that happen in, whether to just "kick tires" OR make a purchase :thumbsup I myself would have NO hesitation to do ANY kind of a deal with Bob on nothing more than a handshake to know EVERYTHING would go down as agreed upon. Damn near impossible to find people like that these day's :cool: When I hit the lottery, Elininator will be my 2nd stop :D

I have a million pics to upload, and my own little "report" of sorts..

I'm just behind on a bunch of machining, so I won't be able to get it up until later this afternoon.

Just me and my buddy Chris, it was nice I even saw the next boat I want now if I can just find the money! You should have went, you will have to make the next one, you know you need another boat also, having one just isn't enough.

Shit Dave, we'll just be happy to see your pics/report by the end of the year. Getting them up today would be monumental!:skull:skull:D

DO YOU EVER HAVE ANYTHING POSITIVE TO ADD TO ANY THREAD. YOUR THE MOST NEGATIVE CONTRIBUTOR I'VE COME ACROSS. I have no clue of your financial situation and could care less but I'd be willing to bet even in Bob Leaches worst scenario he's got more scratch then you. Has Bob allowed you to peer into his finances? Not sure if you have any proof of what it cost him each month to run HIS business, not sure what he sells each month, not sure what he owns or makes payment on, I could go on, point is you probably don't know either.

IMO if you got nothing to contribute in a positive light than keep it too yourself.
