Is there a doctor in the House!
As you say, a lot of great boat brands from a great company. I hope they can get some good help from bankruptcy without hurting their suppliers, employees and customers. There are probably going to be some more of this in the industry before its over.
This economy sucks for the boating industry! I hope we will all be here after the smoke clears! Good Luck to them! Best Regards, Ray @ Raylar |
