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

Ntrain that is sad news for sure, hopefully you will come out of this ok. However bad economy or not this was bound to happen because of trackers inability to properly market the seacraft line.

Given the current economic situation, even the boat manufacturers with the deepest pockets are hurting and most temporarily shut down plants this summer and quietly laid off employees.
Anyway, Seacraft and Mako will be back....will temporarily build boats in Missouri to significantly reduce costs. When market rebounds, I am sure production will be moved to a more geographically sensible facility. |

Whats unusual, we have two BPS in Houston area, there are no Seacrafts at either location. Just some Makos....

BPS recently opened a new store here in N. Calif. They had a big SeaCraft sign outside. No Seacrafts at all on the premises and when I talked to the boat salesman it was apparent he knew nothing about boats...could not even tell me were Seacrafts were being built. The clincher was when he told me that he thought Mako was a better offshore boat

I imagine production will have to be halted temporarily while the new locations are set up for building the boats.

Gotta read through the thread"and between the lines". Ron is saying that a different group will be building it. Is that the deal Ron?

I was working at the ft lauderdale show for shearwater and was told by a bass pro salesman that they were moving to one of their plants in oklahoma. Its really bad for a lot of dealerships and manufacturers right now. There are quite a few that are relly close to the edge, hopefully things will turn around soon. On a positive note I do know that there were some boats sold at the show, not as many as a typical ft lauderdale show in good economic times, but more than most dealers and manufacturers expected
