Great! We don't need steps to be happy. Does this mean Lucy will be the poster girl for Sonic? Cool!

A press release is coming out this Friday about the acuisition/merger with Apache. I assume that the real reason that Sonic is doing this is to expand their manufacturing facilities.

For the most part they did, they still have sales, and a repair facility in Hollywood at the old Plant, other than that, its all Doller Marine.Speedwake said:

I believe the 47 mold already belongs to someone else, so does that mean that sonic will be getting the 41 mold? Or does that belong to someone else also?
Interesting either way.

Don't leave us hanging.

With the hiring of a new crew, hopefully quality won't go
down the drain. Seems like you'd want to keep the same people laying up the hulls, painting, rigging, etc. if
possible. They are the ones that are used to building those boats and doing the same job day in and day out.
Lets hope this is a change for the good. I'd hate to see
a reputable company take a change for the worse.

They didnt hire a whole new crew,
What happened was they closed(for the most part) the Hollywood Facility, and moved to Jupiter into the Dakota facility, using Dakota's Labor Force(trained by Sonic, on their infusion process), Hollywood employees were offered jobs in Jupiter, but it is a he!! of a commute, so most didnt take the offer, therefore Sonic/Dakota had to hire some replacements. The infusion process has very tight QC, and Sonics are semi-custom boats therefore the rigging is not identical on all boats to begin with, so I dont see a problem with quality.
