Boat builders that made it through the recession

[HB Vic]

Whats to talk about? They were there LOOOONG before, and they are still there today. So?
You guys are trying to tie the economy into who and who isn't. The who IS has nothing to with the economy, and the who ISN'T has everything to do with it. Is that some mystery?
You can say the same thing about dozens of industries and businesses, and for the very same reasons.

Us guys? No sir, just me here. Am I trying to tie the economy in to who's still here and who's gone? Not necessarily. But like we both said earlier, the housing boom definitely spawned several new boat builders who are no longer here. All I'm saying is why talk about them if they're gone, that's all.

ALL of who, to the man, had NO business being in the business, was in it for the sake of "opportunity", left when the money dried up, and moved to something else. Probably buying up foreclosures.
There is too sides to the industry, but lets only talk about the good side. Makes for better more pleasing discussion. For the sake of dipshits that bought boats for these people, lets not discuss the boats they made, so as not to offend anybody.
Like I said, its a stupid thread. Of course it is, look who started the flipping thing.

I thought we weren't going to talk about them?

Did you read my business banker dinner post in the other thread?

No I didn't see it.
I won't talk about them. Take some advice, tell you friends considering buying a used boat, to consider if the company is still in business, and if its the original owner or at least one that weathered the storm. because we can't discuss the defunct companies here and the WHYs. Because we sure can't discuss on here if a potential purchase is considered. We could offend a member that was stupid enough to have bought one already.

Isn't there a rule on this site about changing somebodies post when you quote it. Or do you have special swingers only privileges.

Isn't there a rule on this site about how awesome one person can be, because Grads is breaking all the rules.

Thanks man.

You are aware this is a near endless list if we include every company that built a row boat canoe, or inflatable
The list of 'the who didn't" is much MUCH shorter. But I guess its not nearly as positive, just more expedient.
