Genmar exits Florida, citing economic conditions
Economics beside the point, I wonder who the next "new" boat
manufacturer will be making a Hydra-Sports clone with old Hydra-Sports
molds.
It's not like that hasn't happened before. :)
Speaking of which, I was talking to a Mako rep today. Apparently, Mako
has moved out of Florida because of manufacturing problems and are now
making their large boats in the old Sea Pro factory in Columbia, SC.
I didn't know that.
When I visited Sea Pro, back in the days when it was family owned, the
factory was in Newberry.
"Manufacturing problems." Now that's interesting. Wonder what that means.
