<BR>> George told me that the Japanese boat and his personal K were the
last factory built boats. #45 & 46. The 100 thing was just so they could
say one-oh-seven rather than number seven--it sounded grander. They thought
that maybe...MAYBE...as many as 50 home builds were actually started out of
the 400-odd sets of plans he eventually sold. As a side note, the Japanese sub
earned George well over $400k due to vast complications with the certifying
agency. And old George could well afford to mosey around the world at his
leisure both before and after Kittredge Industries ever existed.<BR>>

<BR>>> Actually Scott, I'm going to take that back. I'm going to
have to check again my notes and I suspect Greg Cottrel may know off the top
of head, but "sold to others" is probably more like 56. He did have a
shop in Warren Maine but not sure how many people he employed. The K-600
info is accurate, I've got all the paperwork and notes from the
project.<BR>>> <BR>>> <BR>>>> On 6/8/2014 8:21 AM,

How many employees did he have? There is no way he built those all himself.
Very cool history though.<BR>>>> Thanks,<BR>>>> Scott
