I'm willing to bet money they moved all losses on the books to the Sea Ray brand prior to the sale in order to tidy up their balance sheet.

We are business as usual and having very good boat shows that are bringing a lot of new customers into the brand at my dealership. We will all be glad to know who the new owners are and are very hopeful of the future. Like I said in my previous post the best thing that ever happen to a previous...

It goes both way. I’m in a Costal market where we can convince someone they want the bubonic plague easier than to buy a stern drive. Go inland and it’s the opposite, can’t give away an outboard powered boat. At the Atlanta show we couldn’t even get people to get onboard a outboard boat. There...

We have a fairly choppy bay here locally, customers have given us positive feedback about the ride quality and how dry running the SPX boats have been in the field. The layout and quality of the boats make them worth the small premium over the competitors boats for sure, Sea Ray has a stellar...

I have had several Rovers, a few Jaguars and one Rolls Royce. I daily drive VW's since they are sporty but inexpensive to own. My next toy car is going to be a Jaguar F-Type or my an Alfa 4c.

I work for a dealer that has Sea Ray among several other brands. We have had a very good year with several larger Sea Ray's sold/on order (2 on order over 55' this month alone) so this all caught us a little off guard. Sea Ray has several new models and ones in the pipeline which isn't normally...

A lot of sign shops will work on inflatables. We have one here locally that does a great job. He completely resealed my Zodiac for a good price. For the engine if you haven't had a shop go through it I would I have seen a many of engines that were sold as non-repairable that were repaired for a...
