I wasn’t too fond of Frank initially. I did most of my original boat purchase and other things through Hauptner. Frank was kind of crochity or something, but got friendlier after they split and I bought my second Merc. I remember Frank showing me the first Oceanmaster or its predecessor when they were still together on PGA. The father of a friend bought the first or second one, which I didn’t find out about until I rode in it a few years later when he gave it to his son, Phil. On a real rough day was glad to follow in his wake from Jupiter to PB inlet.
