Greg High ?????

Anybody know Greg High, where he is or what he`s doing now? I was told that he lives in Arkansas. I`ve got a boat that he built and the guy who ordered it had it made with the Ugliest color combination i`ve ever seen. Notice that Ugly has a capital U? Its a lime sherbert green and maroon color with a little lavender mixed in. Looks like something a queer would have. I`m changing the color b4 it goes to the lake. I`m thinking i might get him to re-gel-coat it another color. That is if i can afford it. If not i`ll paint it with some red primer out of a spray can. Would appreciate it if someone could tell me where he lives or hopefully a phone number. Thanks..........

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. But Richard if you ask if someone knows where the guy is that built the Sunkisst and Mantra boats over around Memphis you might get more info.

HEY Richard, Was talking to a Buddy from Pine Bluff today. He and his wife were in Mountain Home, Ar. and had a brake stick on their car. A guy came to their aid and told them to come to his house and he would fix their car. The guy was Greg High an "Old Jet Boat Guy". must be him. Small World
