Default Genmar quits Florida for cheaper labor

Makes sense. That plant was pretty old too wasn't it? It might be cheaper
to increase capcity at the others.

Actually Sarasota is a fairly pricey area to be in. I won't say it is the

That is my thinking too. I imagine Sarasota might have thought
fiberglass fabrication wasn't "green" enough for them too. It is clear
that they were not willing to concede anything to keep them there. I
bet the real answer might be what they do with the old Genmar real
estate.
