I don't. *Never been to a "Going-out-of-business sale."
But it seems the those I've talked to that have gone to such didn't
have much good to say about it.
Business inventory reminds me of futures trading somewhat.
When on the losing end you hate to take a loss and sometimes
don't face reality - so increase your loss.
That part about the stuff going back to the dealer network to be sold

I purchased our one and only new boat from a Chris Craft dealer going
out of business. * Got a helluva deal on it and sold it for more than
we purchased it for.

Way to go, Jimh. Was it the Chris Craft Lobsta' Boat?

Why thank you John.

210 Scorpion cuddy. We had a great time on that boat. Both my
daughter and son were introduced to boating on that boat.

You mean you actually let them on your boat? While underway?

Was the Scorpion cuddy the Chris Craft Lobsta Style boat?

Question.. Did you ever tow your kids without gear? Did you ever, I
mean ever, let one of your kids drive the boat, be honest now? Were
any or you "too many times to count" sports related injuries ever
happen while boating, maybe traveling faster than my kids bikes,
without any safety gear but a lifejacket? Cause, my kid wears
waaaaaaayyyyy more protective gear riding than the law calls for, can
you say the same?

Chris Craft used to make one hell of a boat, then in the 60's they went
through a series of owners. All trying to see if they could make the
worst boat on the market. They succeeded. They made the 70's - 80's
Bayliner's look like a quality boat.

I think they kept going out of business and someone new would buy the
name and see if they could use the name to sell cheap poorly built
boats. I am not sure if they are still in business or if they have gone
belly up for good, but I haven't seen a Chris Craft dealer in Atlanta
since the 80's.

I agree about the overall quality of that boat (compared to the old
CC's) but our boat never failed us mechanically or structurally and I
sold it for more than I paid for it several years later.

If those boats are there on manufacturer's dealer floorplanning, they
might be picked up by the manufacturer and reshipped. If it is a local
bank doing the flooring, maybe not. But...I have no particulars, just
the ad.

Some of the Century fishing boats are nicely done. I wouldn't touch the
rest.

Website: http://www.boatsnsuch.com/ Lots of key west boats. But the
site seems to show retail prices.

If I were in the area and searching for motor parts, I'd stop in the
service department and check it out.

Vic,

I would agree. Most I have been to were farces. Invoice? Like cars, they
don't mean anything any more. I have routinely gotten at least 5% under
invoice for cars now for over 10 years. The dealer makes it in "kickbacks"
and "incentives". MSRP, if you paid anywhere near that they found a sucker.

Oh, if I hear of such a sale, I will go, but my expectations have dwindled
to entertainment value.
