If you talk to anyone that is in the know, they'll tell you no one is doing "good". Heads of performance boating company's that are on your list have been quoted as saying, "if we break even, we'll be happy". When people sit back and speculate at who's doing well, I don't think they take into account that the recent closure of some major dealers have put an additional damper on the bottom line (i.e. returned floored models).
I say, best of luck to all that are on that list. Will they all be here in 2-5 years? I hope so....But highly doubt it.
By the way, did you actually put Fountain on this list?? WTF?

Like I said, if everyone can just cover their over head, they'll make it through.

HA! From the people on the inside I've talked to Cigarette is doing fine....I mean sh!t, they've sold 9 Marauders over the past couple years at 1million + a boat. The over seas market has kept them ahead of others for the past couple years but now the economy has hit the over seas markets as well. Things will slow but I see Cigarette pulling through the economy. On the other hand, I've heard horror stories about other brands listed on that list. Companies that have just built big new buildings or that have just recently had to take back several flooring models, I'd be worried about.
Like I said, if everyone can just cover their over head, they'll make it through.
