My issue with Mako is not the guys who are running it now, its with the folks that ran the company from 1992-2003. The problem with Tracker in my opinion is that it is a publicly owned company and as a result always has to post profits for its shareholders. In order to make these profits, boats are rushed into production, built quickly and poorly, and as a result the brand declines.

I just think that if you are going to build a high quality boat, you need to own to be independently wealthy, own the company outright, keep the production numbers low and the per boat cost high. You're not going to make a ton of money (you might even loose money) but you are going to make a helluva boat!
