Re: Better Get Mako (and SeaCraft)
I'd have to agree, showering with lady's ain't so bad. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
But seriously, I think they have their work cut out for them.
I think the mid-size CC boat market is saturated, there are just so many builders making them now.I don't think Mako can compete in the high end market.Mostly because there's too many really good top end boats being built, but are they pricey.Go price a Regulator, if Mako thinks they are going to grab some of that market share, they're dreaming.
But, if they can get their act together and produce a boat that can compete with the Wellcrafts, Prolines, Aquasports, etc. then I think they can get some of that.
I don't think you can expect someone to pay top dollar for a boat built by a "division" of a conglomerate when he can get one from a dedicated builder like Regulator or Yellowfin or Pursuit.
Unfortunately, I think the same holds for Seacraft. They're still beautiful boats but they're made in the same plant as Mako and people just aren't gonna like that, and with some of the well publicized problems with some of the newer one's I don't blame them.I wouldn't be surprised if Seacraft goes away, let tracker concentrate on a good mid tier production boat, and maybe sell the Seacraft business to an independant.Like Otto for example.

But don't worry boys - none of this is bad for us CSC owners.
