Top Secret Boats?!?!?!?
I've been out of it for a while, with my change of hours at work and stuff....hell, Ijust picked up my TC31 hull, that was painted and ready for pick up in december lol...
Iwas on another 'site' and just found out that Bill at Top Secret Boats is selling the business!!!! I'm a little bummed out considering last summer I decidedI wanted to build a gas cat and chose his for the project...unfortunately, Ihaven't been able to order the hull yet, and was just looking online to do just that.that's when Inoticed his site as "under construction"...thenI logged into the other forums I subscribe to and saw his post 3 months ago....
Bill, congrats on the new job, bud... but, are you getting totally out of the business (saw ad for your machineshop business), or are you going to keep your molds and continue making those super cat hulls? I still would very much like to pick one of these up if they are still available...

I seems Bill has fallen of the edge of the world and if you believe what some have posted on other forums, he is not even taking care of old business let alone taking on new ?
Just saying ....

the 'other' forum where I saw it was actually his post.....Bill mentioned he took a new job in aerospace manufacturing 3 months ago and was selling the business, but was going to continue making/selling stuff until itis sold...he has a bunch of stuff up in Ebay and I've sent him a PM through there inquiring about the hulls...
he may not have posted since december, but he had last logged on, may 8th...

RE: Top Secret Boats?!?!?!?
after doing some research, his last known post in 3 boating forums i subscribe to was back in march, but he has been logging in up to the beginning of last month... I've been able to find out that Bill has sold the business to someone he knows, and was helping out moving the shop since the building was also being sold by the owner as well....he also said that he'll still be part of the business, helping out with the management end, as he doesn't want to see TSB dissappearing, the new owner is supposed to take over, still making everything,... no mention about making the Super Cat hulls, which I still want one for myself lol... i've seen/found no word about who the new owner is and all that yet...

Two weeks ago I bought a gen 3 engine mount through this store, haven't seen the mount yet, but there has been feed back as recent as 2.5 weeks ago. I Hope I get my mount soon as I am looking to get my new boat wet as soon as I can.

What's the "???? etc." about? Just digging up an old thread?
The Cat's that Bill built are still being laid up by someone who bought the molds, the before Bill Offshore Model Boat Company Super-Cat's. There's still hardware popping up once in a while but I don't know if Bill's making it or someone else.
