But he didn't build that business...













Sorry Jake ,couldn't resist.

Another vote for Jake!

errr....I didn't build the bridge that brings the materials to my business...




me neither!

Jake,

When you do vinyl such as on Kranzt's boat, is the vinyl printed and then covered in a clear?

And he has a very cool and cost effective trophy idea.

I did the vinyl for the sails - Mike had the hulls wrapped locally because I didn't have the capability at the time. I will have that capability here in a few more weeks...if my drywall guys will ever f(*&$##g finish and quit screwing up - they're on their way here now to do some more work. Primer is going up tomorrow come hell or high water.

I do! It's actually a cost effective replacement for shirts and/or hats (lord knows I have enough shirts and hats). It's a commemorative plaque 5"x7" that is very glossy, high resolution, and outdoor duty. These are actually really popular with a several model r/c events that I do them for and we do about 3,000 of them each year. The idea is that you collect these from the regattas that you attend and you hang them in your shop, home, or plaster your trailer box with them showing your regatta trail. We can also specialize several plaques to use as awards, so your trail will also show your finish position and what year. Planning to start pushing these out in about another four months (and buying an add from Rick...so apologies for the self promotion).

For the regatta, they're about half the cost of a basic cotton shirt in quantity (design time, if required, not included).

What's 30 sq/ft of vinyl weigh?

I'm making an educated guess based on roll weight and factoring backing paper to be about half the weight...but probably about .2 lbs.

Wow, I was guessing on the order of a couple of pounds. I've been thinking about wrapping a mast.

Please tell me that is not some sort of sick euphamism.

naw, that would be more like wrapping a toothpick

A broken toothpick.

Mike, you make me blush with your sweet talk.

I still like Brag Flags.

Ding's topping lift is pretty cool, although most of those flags are REALLY old.

Time to win a race or two so you can get newer flags, short-boat guy...

It might be short but at least I get to play with it, when was the last time you saw yours?

Every time I open the freezer door.... oh you mean BOAT! well... I'm just waiting for you to finish your anger management program so you will be able to lose with more dignity at Wildcat.

Huh?

Now you got him on the ropes, Ding. Keep those zingers coming.
