					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

Pretty simple, he's asking us to add to his list of brands that didn't survive...

 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.

							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.
