Sea Ray layoffs

Sea Ray very aggressively manages their side of the supply/demand law of economics. The last little down turn in buying they ran the factories on short time.......3 days /week and some weeks off. Now, with a financial guy as company president they are laying off employees. The total number to be let go represents a very small percentage of their work force...<5%. ANt decent productivity consultant could find that much in lost motion, big company red tape and waste, so I doubt there will be much long term effect in availibility of boats.

One thing is sure......if they limit supply, the dealers will not be faced with inventory the inventory problem they had last year and they will attempt to hold prices. I'd guess if you are shopping for a new, as opposed to a used, boat. December-January may be the best opportunity of the 2007-2008 season.
