[Greg Meyer]

It's not a joke...



Gander Mountain will begin selling TRacker, etc. boats this Spring....



Kinda weird... BPS and Gander ARE competitors.... But, business makes strange bedfellows...

Gander was selling Stratos and Champion, I wonder if that will continue or if this a total change?

I am pretty sure that Gander will only be selling Tracker Marine Group products.

BPS and Gander are competitors, Tracker and BPS are two different companies. If I remember right are champion, stratos and ranger under the brunswick umbrella now?

Bruce,.....Champion Stratos and Ranger are under the Genmar group.....owned by Irwin Jacobs who also owns the FLW. Brunswick owns Mercury and several other companies.

Genmar deals with all the motor companies,......you can get anything you want on the back of their boats.....Skeeter is owned by Yamaha and you can only get a 'Hammer on a Skeeter.

The Tracker Marine group is Mercury's largest customer and that's why all the TM dealerships sell Mercury products. Prior to signing with Mercury years ago, they had a contract with Johnson/Evinrude. My very first Nitro had a 175 'Rude on it.....wicked fast!!
