Well, I guess I got scooped by the Tampa press....

I did not realize those Port Authority meetings were so public. Anyway, since we are now getting calls from real estate agents wanting to help us sell our current property, let's set the record straight.
The facility we are currently in, though a wonderful property with a long history of boat building, just won't fit us in the next couple years. We love the city of Tampa and value greatly our current staff, so Mr. Gavio made it clear that we needed to find a solution that is close by. We found that in a property in the port of Tampa closer to downtown. We now have a letter of intent and approval from the Port Authority to move forward. We were slightly optimistic, so our CEO Mark Paulhus has been doing what most boat builders dream of doing...designing a facility from scratch. Those are just some preliminary sketches above. We will share everything from groundbreaking to topping off here, so stay tuned.
