Boat builders that made it through the recession

[gn7]

Boat builders......stay focused.

Try to stay focused on your own thread Grads, YOU were the one that used the word RECESSION in your thread.
What the flock do you figure created the down turn in boat sales, launch ramp fees?

So lets talk about the company names that took a shit, but not the who, or the why, so as to not offend anyone. As we all KNOW, any company that folded was just a victim of the economy, and none were due to a greedy, crooked dealer, shitty product, or anything even remotely like that. I can't think of a single boat company that was in business to launder money. Not a one.

If they aren't today, they either weren't there before the boom, and if the name was there, the owner that shut it down was the original owner.

I cannot think of a single company off hand that folded DUE to the recession, that was there before say 1995, and under the original owner.
We aren't talking about the Detroit Big 3 here people. There were some in the business that their demise is a GOOD THING!
Why do people tend to think that the boat builders that closed isn't a good thing? Who the hell is gone that you personally would like to see have survived the quote unquote "recession" NAME ME ONE!
