You heard it hear first. The BassPro Shop king has purchased Crownline
Boats. Should be announced in a week or two.



curious - i wonder why? its not like he needs to expand his boating
line into another area.

Good question:

There is a Bass Pro shop just down the road from where I live in N.
Atlanta. One guy told me they would only be selling the larger Crownline
boats. Where they are going to put them I have no idea. Ubless they are
going to get rid of some of the Tahoe's..

Another guys said they will not be selling that at that location. I
wonder how this effects existing franchises. There is a dealer not all
that far away.

Damned parking lot in front is already half taken up by Tahoes and

Back in the '50 & '60's there was a boat built in Ill. by
Crownlin. Is this boat any part of them?? They were very
good boats by the way.

Hehehe Yea - that is what I thought too shortwave. :-)

To answer "Boots" question - I don't think that are connected directly
at least. Crownline is out of West Frankfort IL. but I think their first
year of production was 1992. When we purchased out first Crownline they
were a new and fairly unknown company just building their reputation.
