Dear Jim & Buck: On behalf of all my colleagues at Volvo Penta, congratulations on being named the 2014 Boating Industry Movers & Shakers of the Year. This joint award honors a successful business partnership that is virtually unprecedented in the history of boatbuilding in America. The two of you working together with your team and dealers have established an impressive record. Chaparral, over the business cycles, has leveraged its fi nancial strength and stability to invest in new product development and customer service. As a result, Chaparral has been at the forefront of adopting innovative techniques and technologies in boatbuilding. Today, as you celebrate Chaparral's 50th anniversary, we salute you for your commitment to your community and our industry. All of us at Volvo Penta look forward to working with you and the Chaparral team to continue making history together. Best regards, Ron Huibers President Volvo Penta Americas
