Hi Leo, Thanks for your question. We're still moving along doing our thing, albeit a bit more slowly than planned. I left the US in early October to spend a bit of time in the Philippines for the winter. Kathy is still at the store, it's open and the shop is open as well. Our head mechanic...

The setting on the back of the tachometer (rotary selector or dip switches) is for the number of poles in the alternator, it has no correlation (except by chance) to the number of cylinders the engine has. For instance, the BF90 4-cylinder engine uses the same setting on the tach as the...

Hmmm, I need to slow down when I type!!!! The BF90 has a 4-pole alternator (not tach as I typed).

By the way, there is no such thing as a "Honda" tachometer unless you have an early BF35/40/45/50 (early to mid 90's). All other gauges are sourced through American Honda Motor Company (not Honda of Japan) and were/are made by Faria, Beede, VDO, and Veethree. We've always had at least two...

The BF90 has a 4-pole tach. Les

Hi, Thanks so very much for the kind words and encouragement! It's the folks willing to take a chance on the Marinuat boats (and us) that have made it work. It's a delightful boat, as each owner will attest, and that's why we keep pushing forward. So thank you very much for being a part of...

Hi Rich, You have had some awful weather back in your neck of the woods! Thank you for the kind words. We're looking forward to our association with Nordic and being able to deliver more boats. It's still go to be fairly low production but much better than our 3 to 4 boats per years pace...

Yes sir! Thank you. I just realized I changed the status of the photo after I posted it here from public to private. I better change that! Thanks, Les

My dad (Dusty) is at the gym this morning. This is a photo of what was waiting for him: Les Jr P.S. - I don't know who the little girl is (maybe Thrive Fitness owners' daughter).

Hi everyone, It's getting difficult to answer each post individually, which speaks to the wonderful amount of support we get from the community. Thanks to one and all for the kind words, it means a lot. Les

Hi Rob, It's not there yet! We've got a bit more to do before we finish up and then I'll wait for the new owner to tell me when the weather is fit for a boat delivery. Certainly by April the boat should be in the Toronto area. Most Marinaut folks are very outgoing, so I'm sure if you'd like...

Hi Jerry, Thanks! :-) If the production of the M215 goes well then I'll certainly look at developing a larger model. I'm pretty sure it will be an M245 that will basically be a larger version of the M215. I suspect it will be much the same with a head and a bit more space but I'm definitely...

Well, luckily for me, I'm not really turning over the project to Nordic. They are going to build the boats for us but they're only 18 miles from my doorstep and they're going to build the boat under our supervision. I'll hasten to add though, other than just making sure we're both on the same...

Thanks Michael. Good thing you're not biased! :-) Hope you and Glee have a great season with your boat. Les

:lol: It's the demo boat that's going to Toronto! And even the original boat Dave and Ben built has been sold. Guess we're going to have to grab one of the new boats and make it a demo.
