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


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 1998, was $66,375,000 compared
with $67,032,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of $657,000 or
1%. The oil and gas services segment revenue of $33,603,000 decreased 4% from
last year's second quarter due, in large part, to decreased foreign activity,
primarily in Venezuela, offset by solid increases in domestic activity. In
addition, oil prices have decreased 30 percent compared to prior year and the
number of working rigs in the United States has decreased approximately 16
percent from the previous year. The powerboat manufacturing segment revenue for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998, of $29,056,000 increased 1% from last year's
first quarter of $28,846,000 as the result of an increase in Chaparral's market
share.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, was $6,410,000 or $0.22 diluted
earnings per share versus net income of $5,912,000 or $0.20 diluted earnings per
share for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Basic earnings per share was the same
as diluted earnings per share at $0.22 cents per share versus $0.20 cents per
share last year. The increase in earnings from the same period one year ago was
due to the improved profit margins for both the oil and gas services and the
powerboat manufacturing segments.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $133,315,000 compared with
$125,235,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $8,080,000
or 6%. The oil and gas services segment revenue increased 7% and the powerboat
manufacturing segment increased 3%. The oil and gas services revenue increased
for the six months, despite declines in oil prices and decreased foreign
activity, due to the higher level of oil and gas exploration and production
activities by the major and independent oil companies. The powerboat
manufacturing revenue increased despite an overall decline in sales in the
powerboat market. This increase is attributable to Chaparral's increased market
share.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $12,064,000 or $0.41
diluted earnings per share versus net income of $10,219,000 or $0.35 diluted
earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Basic earnings per
share was the same as diluted earnings per share at $0.41 cents per share versus
$0.35 cents per share last year. The increase in earnings from the same period
one year ago was due to the revenue increase and improved profit margins for
both the oil and gas services and the powerboat manufacturing segments.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's current ratio remained strong as of June 30, 1998, with current
assets of $84,085,000 exceeding current liabilities of $39,386,000 by a ratio of
2.1-to-1. This compares to a current ratio of 2.3-to-1 at December 31, 1997.

Capital expenditures during the first six months of 1998 totaling $14,176,000
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.

Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial
condition include "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than
statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference which
address activities, events or developments which the Company expects or
anticipates will or may occur in the future, including statements regarding
trends in the boating industry, and anticipated trends and similar expressions
concerning matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking
statements.

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the
Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends,
current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it
believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results
and developments will conform with the Company's expectations, including
economic conditions, conditions in the industries in which the Company operates,
competition, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the
Company. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made are qualified
by these cautionary statements and there can be no

assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company
will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the
expected consequences to or effects on the Company or its business or
operations. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly any such
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.
