The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Old thread I know, but wondering if this was a Don whatmore built Marlin out of Everett,Wa??
I have a '77 Whatmore built Marlin, and just can't find much info on him or his boats, after he and Jerry Skagen parted ways. I heard he was a dominate racer in the 70's with his K-Motion jet???
