The following news was issued today by J.D. Power and Associates.



J.D. Power and Associates Reports:

Bass Cat, Cobalt, Correct Craft, Grady-White, Manitou, MasterCraft and

Throttle Ahead of the Competition in New-Boat Owner Satisfaction



Despite Quality Improvements Across the Industry, Overall Boat Owner
Satisfaction Remains Unchanged

Why doesn't JD Power publish reports on the quality, not initial
quality, of boats at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 years of ownership?


Because that's not what the manufactures paid them to research.


Therein lies the problem with JD Power and their "initial quality" reports.
