How about cheaper labor.- Hide quoted text -

Some of the production is being moved from Merritt Island, FL to Palm
Coast, FL. It would be hard to imagine that there would be substantial
differences in prevailing wages in one small FL town vs another small
FL town. The rest of Sea Ray's plants are in Knoxville, TN. TN isn't
as far into the deep south, so at first brush one might expect
prevailing wages to be slightly higher there. I would bet that some
other factor is driving the relocation of production- maybe the other
plant is newer, or has equipment that is better suited for certain
processes.

Nah, wages in TN are low. It's not necessarily a "south" thing.
Georgia's wages are quite high, thanks to lots of industry.
