Boat builders that didn't make it through the recession

It seems like there is possibly a light at the end of the tunnel. It sound like builders are slowly starting to build again especially after the L.A. boat show. What are some of the companies that weren't able to tough it out and closed up shop? Anyone care to add to the list?

A few that come to mind:

Commander
Trident
Dana
Force
Next

Not sure about these:

Aftershock
Essex

What's your point?

My beloved Campbells...

Yeah, I thought I was pretty clear.

I was looking through some old HotBoat magazines today and there were a lot of companies that are no more....it just got me thinking.

Pretty simple? Im pretty sure you did not even answer the question. I said point.

I don't about the companies that didn't survive but I was at Howard boats the other day and they looked pretty busy.

I just checked with Vic, he said that not all posts in this forum needed a 'point'...

What's your 'point'?

So name dropping is supposed to impress me? When you drop names make sure they don't belong on the ground.

Besides someone calling out manufacturers of boats that people know and love that could not make it through the Obama driven recession?

I'm starting to think your name was on the list?

Can we get back on the subject here? Does anyone else know of a manufacturer that didn't make it.

I don't like this thread.

It's not like I'm calling out "failed boat builders". ;) Lock it down.

Essex is alive and well. So let's talk about builders who are alive and still building boats. Negativity sucks.
