Sorry to say it but the expense of materials has, as with everything, gone up about a dozen times in the last year. Since polyester and E-poxy materials are oil by-products their cost have gone up faster and higher than gasoline. The remaining materials have increased as well due to freight and manufacturing cost. The first drum of polyester resin I bought back in 1970 was $90.00 for 55 gallons and shipped to us freight free. The last drum I bought a week ago was $937.00 and we paid shipping for only 50 gallons.
Effective 7/15/2008 we will have a 6 to 12 percent increase in our pricing across the board. This increase is already in place on our website and will be shown in our catalog by 7/15/08. Nothing we can do about it but bite the bullet. We tried selling below our cost and trying to make the difference up in volume. Needless to say that didn't work. Sorry for the price increase but you can thank our fine government and all those "friends" they have tried to buy with aid over the years and stick their nose in everybody in the worlds business when maybe we should have looked after our own business instead of everybody elses.We appreciate your continued business and support. See ya on the water.... IF we can afford the fuel.
