I didn't even know there was such a company as S2. I was thinking more along the lines of motor boats such as the ones made by Evinrude, Mercury, and Ranger. |

Don't Evinrude and Mercury make motors more so than boats? |

I don't know. I just think it could be part of Michigan's revival, economically speaking. |

S2 makes big yachts like Tiara and Pursuit. I wanna say they were up to 500 or 600 employees in Holland before the global luxury boat market took a dive a year or so ago. I think they'll be back up again. Can't stop the rise of the upper class in Asia and the Middle East. |

I just want to see Michigan as a whole make a comeback for the better. |
