                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
     the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  Footnote disclosures normally included
     in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
     and regulations.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in
     the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
     December 31, 1996.

     In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements
     included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
     financial position of the Registrant as of March 31, 1997, the results of
     operations and the changes in cash flows for the three months then ended.

2.   Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
     average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.

3.   The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

                ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996


Revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $58,203,000 compared with
$49,717,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and $53,970,000 for the
previous quarter ended December 31, 1996.  Revenue for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1997 increased $8,486,000 or 17% from the same period one year ago and
increased $4,233,000 or 8% from the quarter ended December 31, 1996.  The oil
and gas services segment revenue of $29,974,000 increased 32% from last year's
first quarter primarily due to a higher level of oil and gas exploration and
production activities and expansion of international operations.  The oil and
gas services segment revenue decreased 1% from the quarter ended December 31,
1996.  The power boat manufacturing segment revenue for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1997 of $24,935,000 increased 8% from last year's first quarter of
$23,165,000 as the result, we believe, of an increase in Chaparral's market
share.  The power boat manufacturing segment revenue increased 21% from the
quarter ended December 31, 1996 as a result of a normal seasonal upturn.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $4,307,000 or 29 cents per
share compared to net income of $3,450,000 or 24 cents per share for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 and net income of $3,831,000 or 26 cents per share for the
quarter ended December 31, 1996.  The increase in earnings from the same period
one year ago was due to the revenue increase for both business segments as well
as improved margins for the oil and gas services segment.

                                ITEM 2.  CONT'D


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Registrant's current ratio remained strong as of March 31, 1997 with current
assets of $81,220,000 exceeding current liabilities of $33,611,000 by a ratio of
2.4-to-1.  This compares to a current ratio of 2.3-to-1 at December 31, 1996.

Capital expenditures during the first three months of $5,240,000 were primarily
for revenue-producing equipment in the oil and gas services segment.  The
remainder was spent on various purchases for the other business segments. 
Funding for future capital requirements will be provided from operations.
