Got a call today from a friend near the inside...SeaCraft, Mako and one of two of Tracker's aluminum boats shut the doors today. Who's left? Gettin' very scary... and just before Halloween.

Hang On to The Classics!!! Part II.

The Mako/SeaCraft factory is still running.

Might want to press your friend near the inside for better information.

Glad to hear you're still working Ron.

Appreciate it. Chances are that the facility will be closing at the end of December.

I recall years ago here in Stuart at the test center for OMC they laid everyone off just before Christmas. Nice.

It makes no sense to keep pushing boats into the dealer network if they still have inventory, at some point you have to say " lets take a break" and let things catch up.

Ron- are you saying closing temporarily or for good?

Ntrain2k · #10 10-28-2008, 07:06 AM

The understanding is that it will be for good. Production will be moved to another existing facility.
