Facilitator Role Pays Off for Tred Barta, Rampage and Gregory Poole

February 23, 2005

Most of the North Carolina business-to-business networking we do is in the form of helping NC boat builders locate products and materials provided by in-state companies. A series of calls from Tred Barta in search of the right North Carolina sport fishing boat partner ended in a match up with Rampage Sports Yachts of Navassa. An added NC bonus came with the engine partnership of Raleigh-based Gregory Poole (Caterpillar). The partnership resulted in Barta owning Rampage’s 33 Express, a sport fishing yacht to be powered by twin CAT engines from CAT distributor Gregory Poole. Rampage and Barta signed a letter of agreement at the Miami Boat Show.

Barta and Rampage will also team up for tournaments, Rampage and CAT dealer appearances and other special events, some of which will support Barta’s favorite cause, the Barta Boys and Girls Club Billfish Tournament, held July 21-23, in Beaufort, N.C. www.rampageyachts.com/ and www.gregorypoole.com.
