Morning Dom

I would also like to see the Derby. That is something I have always wanted to do.

If you really want to, I get with me next Feb/March and I'll see what tickets I can scrounge up. I typically can get access to all price levels. We did all the new construction out there and do all of their HVAC and Plumbing maintenance. During derby week, we have upwards of 12 guys onsite to take care of emergencies. Also, my service manager's brother is fairly high up there. Let me know so I can start pulling strings early enough.

I hope someone runs the price up on these so I don't have to bid on them.

I take issue with Krypt/BulletLines and Ken Land's business practices.

A great big UGH for this morning.

There, now I feel better

Just curious...why (I know nothing about these things...)?

Why would someone have an "unfinished" Tige hull for sale? I would be worried that there is a reason that it was never finished out and sold. Maybe some significant defect, and so it was sent out from the factory to be used for some demo use only (like stereo or some non-boating use).

Plus, without a HIN, wouldn't it be difficult to register?

I bought my boat in 09 and it was an unfinished 08 that was still at the factory.

Let me preface this by saying that this is what I have heard and read. I do not know this all 100%, but it seems to be what happens.

For many of the technology-based products (speakers, EQ's, underwater LED's, etc.), it seems that he somehow finds which factory (in China, usually) makes a product for one of the big names like WetSounds, or Bullet Speakers, or Ocean LED. Then he seems to cut a backdoor deal with the factory and gets them to manufacture and ship him the "same" product with maybe a very slight exterior look.

He therefore does not do the R&D investment, and basically steals the intellectual property of the investor. He then sells essentially the same product for much cheaper. Of course he has less invested in it.

A year or two ago he was "coming out" with a new EQ system, with tower/in-boat speaker fader function, and a talk-back PA system through the tower speakers. Sound like the WS 420? It even looked EXACTLY like the WS 420. The only difference, cosmetically, was the Krypt logo instead of the WS logo. Tim White found out and got it stopped before it hit the market.

These new HLCD speakers of his seem to be based upon the Bullet Speakers tower speakers. The only difference looks to be a very slightly different grill, and he doesn't load them into enclosures.

Anyway, like I said, this is all rumor, but it sure seems to look like the way he practices business.
