Come on rec.boaters.

This is your chance to support an American industry.

All you old fat, retired Republicans should go out and buy a Ranger
today. It's patriotic.


Yeah, and for several here, why, it would mean ownership of a boat.

Crap - I'm in the market for a Ranger bass boat.

That does not bode well for Ranger - being an upscale type bass boat,
I can't imagine them closing downt the line, but there have been
rumors about that so they can concentrate on Stratos and Champion.

Damn - not good news - Jacobs is a moron and it wouldn't surprize me
if he shuttered Ranger. Either that or downgrade the quality.

Now I gotto go looking at Nitros? EEEWWWWWW......... :)

And you call yourself an American?

Pony up dude! Keep hope alive!

Nice to know that Ranger marketing is on top of things.

Whew - now I feel better.

Irwin Jacobs' Genmar files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

By Susan Feyder, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Genmar Holdings Inc., the Minneapolis-based boat manufacturer founded and
headed by Twin Cities businessman Irwin Jacobs, today filed for protection
from its creditors under federal bankruptcy laws.

The company’s Chapter 11 petition filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Minnesota listed assets of $237.5 million and liabilities of $216.5
million. Jacobs said the bankruptcy petition does not include more than
$400 million in intangible assets, whose value were determined recently by
Wells Fargo & Co., its lead banke r. Wells Fargo and Fifth Third bank are
the only secured creditors, owed $75 million.

Obama isn't going to bail them out.

But at least they didn't operate the company into a criminal level of debt
like GM/Wagoner did.

Or the people get the bill.

But honestly, it is too late. I suspect no one ever expects the grad daddy
debter of them all to pay thir debts. Government itself is technically
insoluable.
