All credit to Ausfish for bringing back col

[tin can marlin]

Gee, THAT was subtle.............


I for one have been happy without the "heres a boat we built this week" and other forms of spam posts we've been subjected to in the past.:wink::wink:

There's two sides to every coin and I'm glad you know which side you're on.

All I know is that there's been a lot of angst caused, and a lot of threads locked and the common denominator is that person.

I wish them all the best and good luck with it all - just keep the advertising in the banners, and OFF the boards IMHO.

Why has there always got to be somebody who puts in there big negitive Col has done a lot of good things for people over the years so if i want to give him a small leg uo by saying good on him for a haveing another crack. I should be able to this without people saying it is a big sales campain for there company it is a good old fansioned pat on the back.

I thought that Ausfish was just taking your advertising and sponsorship is for footy teams and the like.

Can anyone help with this anomoly?

Can anyone help with this anomoly?

Yeah. Sure. This is the way that you spell it ... "anomaly".

Heheheh! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

(Sorry, I just could not help myself! I have always been such a literalist - eg when the doctor tells me to strip to the waist, I take off my trousers. :grin: )



I guess that when people say "sponsorship" when they really mean paid commercial advertising, it is just the same as someone saying that "onions don't agree with me" when they really mean that onions make them fart a lot.

ie it sounds more genteel. :grin:

Is that the case? I have no clue as to the situation on this particular forum, but on others businesses advertise for a price as well as donating 'sponsorship' money to help keep the site running. Maybe this is what is happening here?

Thanks for that Charlie..now you know why I never made it as an english teacher.


This thread started off as a thank you to Ausfish for advertising Origin...Now it seems we should be thanking Origin for sponsoring Ausfish.

Is this what they call "spin" ?

Ausfish Members
Thanks to those that have expressed encouragement to Origin Boats.
Being a new company I thought I would provide a quick response for those that may be wondering, who is Origin Boats.
Origin Boats was formed in late 2009 to develop a range of custom plate alloy boats from 4m to 10 m. The Company ownership structure includes myself and two others, all having extensive, long term backgrounds in business, accounting, marketing and sales. The goal of Origin Boats is to produce the best plate alloy boats in Australia and provide 100% customer satisfaction.
Col Svensson with 30 years experience is the master boat builder. He brings to the Company a wealth of design and construction expertise. He is leading a team of dedicated tradesmen producing state of the art designs, techniques, quality control and innovation to produce the best product for our customers.
We have already completed some boats and have a few nearing completion that we will be posting on here for you to see what we are doing with our new 2010 models.
We have invested in sponsoring Ausfish and look forward to providing service to any members that may need assistance with their boating requirements. Please give Col or myself a call or PM if you would like any further information.


Regards
Richard

Thanks Richard
But I'm still a little confused as to who owns Origin Boats!
For the sake of clarity
I did a search and yes their is 3 names associated with the business but nothing about your Col Svensson.I have a copy of a letter that was circulated and it would seem some Ausfish members received one as well http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/showthread.php?t=157683
However i find it a bit misleading as he promotes the business as his own?
You have already stated that you are one of 3 so who are the other 2? and are they Ausfish members ? at a guess and looking at the posts would i be correct in saying posts number 5 & 6 have a hand in the company?

For the life of me i don't see what all the HOO HA is over who owns the business.Who owns it,who cares.

If you like there boats and want to buy one,buy one.

If there boats don't tickle your fancy.don't buy one.

Surely more important things in life.

Just my thoughts

Sorry you feel that way but I'm trying to establish some credibility before i hand over my hand earned.
So if its OK with you i would like to know who I'm actually dealing with without any smoke and mirrors.:wink:

[Steeler]

Then why not meet and greet in person surely that would be the best way to satisfy any concerns you have or you could always pay the admin fee and get a copy of the paperwork from ASIC.

[Tangles]

why dont you ring them or pm them and ask.

steeler beat me to it

Did the ASIC search,thats why I'm asking the question.
Meet Richard when he worked part time for Col at Fisher but never got around to signing up.
Gee wiz you guy's your acting like they have something to hide, I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to know!
If they are going to advertise here on Ausfish I believe we all have a right to know the facts.
Isn't that what this forum is all about,discussion?:undecided:

[PinHead]

do you ask for the names of every board member and shareholder of News Corp before you buy a Courier Mail..never heard of anything so ridiculous to be honest.

I could not tell you the names of any of the owners of the businesses I have bought boats and cars from..it means nothing. Plenty of companies have completely silent partners and therefore no issue with their name being mentioned.


AND.. I have a lazy K that says you are wrong about posts 5 & 6..you interested ??

While I wish the company the best, I can understand where GBC is coming from, there were a few uncomplimentary rumours going around (which I am sure 99% are crap which is usually the case) I reckon most people would love to hear a few more actual facts before handing over hefty deposits or even putting an origin on the list of possible boats.

Col actually built a boat for us a few years ago and I have nothing but praise for it, so on a manufacturing point of view I'm sure there would be no issues whatsoever.

Hey Pin Head
Sorry if i seem to be asking ridiculous questions but i have my reasons.:undecided:
I haven't got a lazy k but I'm willing to bet a carton that W.P. is on the team ,possibly the accountant.
I'm off to work now so will catch up tomorrow ,so do we have a bet?:cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :rolleyes:
