Ray Frechette Jr Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I am closing down the shop as other business interests are taking precedence. If anyone is interrsted in buying the domain name from me along with good will that came form years of advertising I will be happy to sell it for far less than 3 months of adsvertising in any trade publication.. Feel free to contact at refent01@yahoo.com if interested. Quote
Garry Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Sorry to hear a great boat business is closing. I know you did some good work. Good luck on your other endeavors. Quote
Charlie Jones Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Sorry to hear that Ray. Best wishes in your new endeavors, from a (sorta) retired boat builder Quote
Tom Lathrop Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Ray, Can't tell if that is the good news or the bad news for you. Anyway, we are glad that you have a new venture to go to. Keep in touch. Are you now going into the landlord business? Quote
wkisting Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Sorry to hear that Ray... I haven't been on the forum much due to a lot of other stuff going on at work, but I dropped in today and happened to see your note. If you're closing down shop, I hope it's because you've got something better on the horizon for you.Best,Wes Quote
Ray Frechette Jr Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 For several years I have worked Seasonally at L.L.Bean as a customer service Representative answering phone calls. A little over a year ago I was aksed to stay on year round. I find my hours increasing there and my responsibilities and compensation expanding to the point that it makes more sense than Building boats for Customers. Also Rental property market is improving and it makes more sense to spend time on upgrades and improvmeents there and tending to that investment than it does to continue making boats for customers. I have turned down at least one CS 17 build recently adn have had some customers look elsewhere as I could not devote time necessary to build an OB 20 in time desired. There is continuing good will with the company name and it seems a crying shame to simply close it out completely. Past several years several poeople have mentioned interest in various boats but felt the need to wait until the economy firmed up a bit... If someone was interested in building for hire part time as a sideline, you could garner some residual interest quickly this way by buying domain and having a welcome page by me advising that I have shut down operation but reccomend people to inquire at XYZ Boat building ....
