"Brunswick's Meridian Yachts brand said it has recalled workers to its
facility Palm Coast, Florida as the builder prepares to ramp up
production. About 40 per cent of the work force in Palm Coast had been
laid over the last 12 months as demand declined."

Now, the bad news.
They'll be making more of these.

The Sea Ray name has disappeared off their plant on Merritt Island. I
see now that it is a Meridian Bayliner Plant.
I hadn't heard about the Meridian brand. Is it a gussied up Bayliner or
something completely different?


Don't know, first heard of it in the BoatTest e-mail I get.
Nice video there.

Most of the BoatTest boats are not my cuppa, and beyond my means
anyway. But the e-mail is usually an interesting read and has
interesting test vids and articles.
