Dear

Thank you for your interest in Great White Marine & Recreation, Inc.
(OTC BB: TGSK). I apologize for the delay in answering your
questions. I have been out of the office for the past week on
vacation.

Since Mr. Velmer began following TGSK he has questioned the size of
the float. On one hand he should, volume and volatility have been
very high. However, what Mr. Velmer has not questioned is the number
of market markers. The last time I checked TGSK was approaching 30
market markers. A Company of TGSK's size only needs five or six for
a well balanced market. There are so many shares going back and
forth between market makers it makes the volumes appear much larger
than they are. This is easily tracked. We believe up to about 80%
of the volume printed on the end of day volume is nothing but false,
inter-market maker volume. Hence, say 500K shares print on a day,
really only 100K were traded.

As far as the actual float, it is simple to figure out. There are
just under 7.2 million shares outstanding. Insiders own restricted
shares totalling a little under 5 million. Subtract out the
restricted shares and the float is about 2.2 million, give or take a
little.

Another aspect Mr. Velmer has not commented on is the possibility of
a short position. While this is not officially part of the float, it
is an extension of the float because there are additional
free-trading shares being traded.

I hope this helps answer your questions. If you have any additional
questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

J. Scott Sitra

Instead of calling the company (word has it that they are getting swamped with phone calls from investors). I would suggest emailing or calling Scott Sitra, he is in charge of TGSK PR.

Bob,
Since TGSK is a non reporting bb co i would think independent share numbers from the transfer agent would be the best way to go.
ENK Stock Transfer
418 Elizabeth Ave.
Vacaville, Ca 95688
707.448.0755
I requested info regarding; shares out, 504's,505's, restricted, float ,etc. The lady who runs it gave me the run around for 3 weeks before telling me i had to get this info from the co. Kinda blows the independence part doesn't it. Although transfer agents are not required by law to have to give you this info, most are happy to fax this info to you with a simple written request(fax). If you can get ENK to fax you the share #'s please PM me, as i would be very interested in them.
