Default What happen to Sunsation

I went to the Detroit boat show and they weren't there. Pretty surprised since it is their back yard and I think I have seen them every year for the last 20 or so. I was looking forward to seeing a F4 up close.

They were in Miami. They haven't been there the past few years. I went too, very dissapointing.

That is a sad commentary on Michigan and it's economy. If the states largest boat manufacturer isn't even participating. I am not in the market for a 4th boat, but I always enjoy checking out the Sunsation hardware. They have been an under recognised success.

I am not really sure why they werent at the show. But if you in our neck of the woods, give me a shout and I will personally show you some of the Sunsation boats.

Thanks for the great compliment on the product too! If you are looking for number 4 give me a call!

I think it is simply a case of them looking at certain markets and realizing there was little to no ROI on attending shows in those markets. They did not attend Chicago this year either. Tough times right now in the powerboat market unless you have a strong overseas demand.

Thought Tiara Yachts was Michigan's biggest boat builder?

Tiara was there. So was FourWinns which has to be one of- if not the biggest in Michigan.
