Well! You can tell how far I'm behind on getting to visit the forums (much to my dismay!).
We've now pulled 7 hulls from the molds including the first Toland Marine built prototype. We've delivered two Marinaut Boat Company built M215s to their owners, are closing in on the third, and have three more sold boats to build after that.
The larger Marinaut is on (semi) permanent hold. Not only do we need to concentrate on the boat model we're already building (the M215) but the develop costs of the M256 (about $350,00) are just too high to make sense at the moment. Maybe when/if the ecomomy continues to improve, fuel prices stabilize, and the run-away inflation for resin (up 30% in a year) and boat building components evens out we'll reconsider the larger Marinaut.

Leo – I can assure you he is home.
I talked to him last week and he is still building boats. Unlike the other boats being built today, the Marinaut is built individually for each customer and Les is personally involved in the building process for each boat. This has kept him busier than usuall.
As Charlie said, an email to him will get a faster response than a post here.
Check out Scan Marines home page, maker of the Wallas stove used by many of the C-Brats.

I am sorry I missed the boat show also. See That’s Life “oldgrowth” for the reason. I don’t want to hijack this thread.
