Default Marine business opportunity, and goodbye Willard

One of the "casualties" associated with the war on terror is the pleasure boat
production at Willard Marine. Willard is one of the larger producers of small
FRP boats for the military. (life boats, patrol boats, etc).

The recent surge in demand for military vessels has prompted Willard to
permanently withdraw from the production of private yachts.

Too bad, their boats were very high quality. One of the few pleasure builders
routinely building to mil specs.

Willard is looking for buyers for the Willard 30 pilothouse and flybridge sedan
tooling, as well as the Willard 40 Pilothouse and Flybridge Sedan. (The Willard
40 pilothouse has been one of the boats I would seriously consider as an
eventual replacement for our current vessel).

Anybody who wants to make $50 million bucks in the pleasure boat building
business... (start with $100 million and get out fast)....could probably pick
up the tooling for a reasonable price. I can furnish the phone number of the
party repping the tooling and molds for Willard.
