About two hours ago our good friends at Sea Ray / Brunswick found it in their best interest to destroy the original 399 Skater mold that was going to be Faction Power Boats. What a waste, what a shame. Is there anything else they can do to Baja or the good folks up in Bucyrus at this point? Remember you saw it first on OSO and not TBM! |

Rest in Peace:eek:

P.S.
Yes that was a hull in the mold. They cut it in half and ran the forks from the fork lift through it!:rolleyes: |
Ouch, that hurts. I hate to see any mold destroyed.
|
WHY???? I guess a better question is why had Faction not taken ownership of the mold?? Did brunswick not sell it?? WHo did it belong to? Wow what a waste!!!
If Faction did not own it why didn't Fountain take it?? WILL:violent040: |

I wanted a 36 back when it was discontinued and they would not sell and destroyed all of them along with the 25 and the 29 and the 33OL! Any other questions? |
Well thats what I figured, damn what a waste. I have seen some crappy things but to destroy a mold for the simple reason that you can is crappy. Sea ray would never have used it.
To be honest with you I am surprised it just didn't end up missing??????????? You know with all the trucks and molds going down the roads??? SAD |

SAD If you only knew the half of it. I could tell you some stories that I heard about how this mold almost escaped and was hidden and you name it. Just too many people knew about it. |
If Faction never owned it, I'm not sure why they were even discussing producing the boat to the public. I would think they would have kept things low key until the transaction was made & the mold officially changed hands. Then announce it to the world.
I guess they could still use a different mold, but probably lost some credibility next time they announce a model. |
