CR Molds are in the Factory!
I love the smell of new alluminum. The new Cross River molds showed up at the factory the other day and I have been working on getting them ready for production. Its always awesome to see the new molds because they are so shiny and new. The 125 and the 250 are both up now. It usually takes a couple weeks to get the molds all broken in and running smoothly. Just like a good pair of shoes. Thats why we aren’t promising to ship any boats until Feb. 1st.
If you haven’t seen how boats are made you should look at these video links.

Lots of folks have been asking about the CRs and when they were coming so I figured I would show you what is going on. I will try to post pictures of the first outfitted boat on Friday.

A little ice and I still don’t have power.
Here are a few shots from Thursday. We had a semi epic ice storm here in Western North Carolina. There were trees down everywhere and power out all over our area and Upstate South Carolina. Evidently there were close to a half million people out of power in the area. We just got power here at LL headquarters Sunday, but I still don’t have power at my house. Luckily the woodstove and water are still running. So we are living a little more basic these days.
