Anybody see any National ads on boattrader anymore? I'm guessing OSO hasn't worried about payment for the ads they have for National, I still see some there.
If I lived by Tim G, I'd be checking his mailbox for outgoing resumes, then I'd know for sure one way or another

Re: Hummm....
If this completely grenades anybody that thinks this won't have significant impact to every portion of the high performance (all marine ) industry isn't thinking completely through the issue. This will not be good for anybody.

Re: Hummm....
the industry has already been affected in many ways. i am all too familiar with this way of doing business. i used to own a garbage co in nyc, and when a co would either sell or go out, they would blow out every account they had. then sell, or go under and open under a different name. this would affect prices, sales, insurance, anything and everything you could imagine. not to mention all the people it took in its wake.
very few good points come out of something like this, but i can think of a few. after all is said and done, after all our friends get their lives back together if they can. not having a co like national will make the industry stronger, closer to what it should be. no way should buying a power boat be as easy as going to the store picking up a candy bar, like in the case of national. hopefully this will make the people that are still around, and the people we trust stronger in the long run. sorry about the rambling, this just strikes a cord with me from my old line of work....
