Hi Again
I believe in the last couple of years Jim has seen his experienced employees head down a different path themselves, most importantly would be Todd Pickering, who owns the Geltek company and produces the new Flyer A Class, and as the letter from Jim reads, another employee has gone out on his own.
The A Class was certainly Boyers strongest product, both the Mk5 and Aussie Flyer, and Todd gaining the building rights for the new Flyer (and I would go as far as to say that Jim didn't put his hand up for the new flyer), would moved Boyer more into the industrial side of his business, which may be has something to do with the grey water business idea.
As the designs have moved overseas and to other builders, it may be break Jim has been looking for. I would be interested to know what the second idea (fibreglass/boatbuilding) would be based upon, he certainly has the experience, eye for detail, and would be considered to be the best builders in the world, so if he gets back into it, then look out.
Regards
