Sad story. I wonder why? Just went off the deep end with all the stress.

That compay was going down hill fast as soon as Mike Lorenz sold it. Too bad too because they built one hell of a boat.

Maybe she is the one who dropped the dime on him committing fraud and he figured he would take her out for it?

In a case like that, they should be allowed to save tax payers dollars and close the case right then and there. :twocents:Mark

From what I have heard he was looking at significant amount of time anyway, he must have figured his life was pretty much over so why not.

Why not, there are plenty of them out there 4 sale. I do all the work on my boat anyway so its not like I needed them once the sale was done.

Good point, I like to rig my own boats from top to bottom, so I guess it wouldn't matter except for the warrantee on the hull and basic rigging. I would like to find one bare bones and built it up myself.

North River is still in business and is either building or getting ready to build boats.The bank is running the show.Do a google search and you should be able to get more of the latest on this.

I do not agree just cause his life was going to hell no sense in killing someone else.

I saw a barebones on craigslist. Im in the market for a boat myself. Dont know if I want to rig it all up myself though.

fishcrazy · « **Reply #12 on:** September 15, 2009, 05:19:48 PM »

I read another article. It said she left him 2 months ago. He started stalking her and she got a restraining order. It said he shot her in the back while walking away from him with a shot gun. She had told family she was very affraid of him.

What a NUT!!

You buy a used North River and you don't get a hull warranty anyways. If anything happens to it,there are many repair shops that can weld aluminum.

I've had an Alumaweld and now a North River. I'll take my NR with no warranty over my Alumaweld if it had a lifetime warranty.

Spot ON!!! But when yer ready for a real boat buy a Willie Boat. And have the best warranty and manufacture.

Willie makes a killer shallow water boat,but IMO the Asaltor didn't ride as well as my Seahawk does. My next boat is going to be an all out offshore fishing machine. Wille doesn't make anything that I'd take 30-40 miles off shore.

If I ever decide I want to fish the rivers more,a Willie is gonna be at the top of my list.

Willie makes anything you want. They are 100% custom. I have asked them if they biuld offshore boats. They do you just don't see them advertised. You tell them what you want and they will biuld it.

I agree, I have never really cared for Alumawelds. They are good boats just not a sturdy, imo. I like Willy boats as far as structural integrity but they don't have quite what I want.

Have you tried calling them and seeing if they will biuld what you want? They biuld anything you want if it's from metal.

I was not aware that they would custom build from the ground up. I know a guy in Bellingham who will build any boat out of any material but a custom usually runs twice the price.

fishcrazy · « **Reply #21 on:** September 18, 2009, 09:22:45 PM »

Polarbear,

I'm not sure what you want but I know they have some good prices now because of the deal they got on some metal. I know they biuld custom boats. They have told me about some of the boats they did for offshore ect. I would call Mike Jackson and see what he can do.

Kris
