Shawnee/Supreme new home
« on: April 26, 2014, 08:45:14 PM »
Rob and crew moved to a new (to them) building couple weeks before I was out for Sowbug. They have 20,000sf now. Rob said by the second day he could already see production going up due to not having to move a hull from here to there and back to do work. A bass boat maker (Legend) were in there, they moved down street.

Business is good, has 12 full time, 5 part time employees. He's grown every time I visit. Rob deserves it, one of the most honest/giving business persons I've met.

Ownership has it's privileges,  ;) Davy and T Bird were there picking up his boat. Rob introduced us properly, I've talked to him many times last few years but he didn't know me from Adam, may not next time. When I would walk by his table this trip, Davey motioned me over, T Bird stuck a chair under me and we visited, gave me useful info without asking.













all the "boats" with orange insides are molds, you have to see them to appreciate the work that goes into a mold, slicker than a new penny.

That's pretty cool David.
