Lund and Alumacraft forced to stop production!

[Mark Gross]

LAMAR ,The other day I heard a commercial local channel about a large about boat sale.Lots of boats for sale scatch and dent, repo's, damaged, new ,and some used part of the pitch was that because Alumacraft and Lund were forced to halt production.

Crestliner was not included.

So does that mean there no more? I see a big push on advertizing for Creastliner and little or nothing onthe other two.

All three of these boats are ocourse made here in Minnesota I beleive.

What do you guys thing about this.

I suspect it's BS car-dealer type stuff, but if you find something with great prices, please do keep your buds informed, and me too

 

[Lamar Gilbert]

I don't think spreading a rumor like this without proof is acceptable. If you have proof, then disregard my comments.....otherwise.............



These are two BIG companies.

Hey, it happens all the time. Nitro was forced to halt production when all of their users got off work today. Chances are, they'll start production back up on Monday. Again, I think it's some bad car-sales type gimmick.

 

[Mark Gross]

It's a well known fact that Jen-Mar owns all three companies as you put it...and that they recently sold them to Mercury.My thought was that they may doing away with the two to concentrate on one,Crestliner.



I take offence to youy wild suggestion that some how I'm spreading rumors when I was only disribing what I SAW AND HEARD ON T.V. Also observe the question marks????????????

They mean I was asking A question!!!!! Not making a statement thank you very much.



Have a good weekend.

Now, now, play nice or I'll take your drain plugs away. The "rumor" is almost true, but a bit old at this point. Now you fellas can kiss and make up here, or we can give you two your own private thread if you would rather.

Pat...



Given the "demise" of the RCL... Do the dealers see an opportunity to put more Alumacrafts into the hands of Pros... It seems like Polar Kraft has seen this as an opportunity to step up sales by getting into that arena...



I know I feel more inclined to shop for a new hull next season based on what I truly want/like in a boat rather than consider anything plus or minus just because of brand...



You sell Alumacraft and what engines?

My sister-in-law works for Alumacraft at their St. Peter, MN plant..She works on the boats putting in the carpet and stuff. She has not seen any work slow down. In fact from the way she talked, sound like they are really doing good this year."A"

[Michael Snow]

Dear Alumacraft,



Mac says you're his cousin. I want a FREE new boat please. Nothing shorter than 18', and at least a 150 on the back. Mac will vouch for me. When will it arrive? Thanks.
