Don't know much about the brand, but some investors bought it are
getting into a better facility and are already getting orders.

though tanked at least once (while others are still dropping like dead
flies)

I hope they can do good,

OK, read the article and still don't know what the hell the NPAA is...

National Professional Anglers Association

I had to look it up too!

Not a very well written article I guess...



The initialism is spelled out in the first sentence of the article:

"Forestville, WI-Two *National Professional Angler Association* members,
Dave Andersen, Amery, Wisconsin, and Chuck Barth, Melrose, Minnesota,
with two other investors have resurrected the Warrior Boats brand. The
company is currently building boats, with the first four boats nearly
complete.*

I agree that the PR release is poorly written. Among other nits, when
you cite the full name or an organization, you typically follow that
with its initialism in parentheses.

Oh well.

The rule in military writing was to follow the name with initials in parentheses *if* you were going
to use the initials later in the writing.
