Performance Boat Companies that have gone or are almost gone
#53
We pretty much know what builders are gone. With that said which ones will not last this time around with that market the way it is? I think it will be the bigger production builders (baja)because of there dependence on the people that are the ones really haveing a hard time now. The custom builders don't depend on same people and they for the most part don't have the overhead. So anyone care to take a guess?

I will guess that the smaller custom builders are going to be hit harder. They may not have the overhead, but the larger companies have better management and resources. I guess by 2010 we will have only 2 -3 real builders left; Skater, Cig and or Outerlimits. Just a SWAG for the asking!
