I have no inside info but I think Merritt Island must be one of Sea
Ray's oldest plants (if not THE oldest). When I first heard of Sea
Ray, back in the 70's, there were only two plants. Merritt Island and
another in some odd place like Arizona. Not that Arizona is odd but I
remember wondering why anybody would build boats in a desert. Anyhow,
my uninformed guess would be they're just moving some production to a
newer and more modern plant rather than spending $$ on updating at
Merritt. That's just a wild ass guess though.
