A couple of weeks ago I was given this little gem from a friend who was at a dealer tradeshow in Lost Wages(Las Vegas)

i never take my key out on the little boat so no worries on dropping, and the Carver has a push button. But still I think on ordered over $xx bucks we should get one.

Never take my key out .But that is a neet float though.Side note, that is one of the most dangerous animals in Africa responsible for many deaths.Even big crocs avoid tangling with them.

I still don't understand the whole hippo/feral hog logo thing though...

You are not alone, but from a marketing perspective, if it gets you talking about the logo, then you remember the logo. That is a win for the company. So, sometimes they don't have to make sense to be effective. Does a Tiger make sense for corn flakes? But you thought of Tony the Tiger, didn't you?

You see there...thats why I am not a marketing genius, or any kind of genius. May hap I should have them make a logo for my boat shop. I can twist a bolt and lay a decent bead of Aluminum. All these smart people make me feel so not smart...

So, how does one get the free i-boats swag? Maybe they will make a raffle for those of us who so dutifully answer questions for folks that they hope to sell the parts to?

Wouldn't need to be much...a sticker for the old tool box...a poster to hang on the wall of the shop...if'n they don't give the stuff to the mods then maybe to the folks with exactly 2482 posts...edit 2483...2484

First time I saw I called it a PO'ed wart hog. My opinion hasn't changed but it does cause conversation. Maybe it will turn into the same type of symbol as the Bud clydesdales?
