I would like to wish Rick, Ivan and their families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I have promoted Bass Cat boats and Mercury Outboards since the 90s and have owned basscats since the 80s Rick and Ivan have always stood by me from health issues in 2005 to my near fatal boat accident in Sept.2008. Yes I am the one who was T-Boned by a pleasure boater on Pomme De Terre Lake. Life is good everyday is good day some are just better than others, at least Im still walking on the green side of the grass. Rick and Ivan would check on me. I would like to wish all of the employees of basscat and their families a Merry Christmas, also Merry Christmas to my Uncle, aunt and cousins in Mtn.Home. To Fred Ulrich and his staff , all of my fellow BassCat family members a merry Christmas. A few thoughts to ponder, Always wear a life jacket you never know, never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly,thank a veteran because Freedom is not free. May god bless you and your family as he has mine. Mark
