Genmar files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
« on: June 02, 2009, 08:26:56 AM »
It's been a tough couple of years for the industry and the people who make their livings in related businesses.  Here's a link to the Minneapolis Star Tribune story:

A sidebar story runs through the list of Genmar brands, but only those currently in production.

Don't have much sympathy for them.  Their first mistake was discontinuing the Aquasport line :!:

That is ironic, The article doesnt mention wellcraft, I wonder if they will be affected??

The reason I say this is that I heard just the other day that Wellcraft was considering Reintroducing the aquasport line over the next couple of years.  

Keep in mind the source I heard this from was a private individual who had heard it from a friend of a friend so I am not sure how reliable the info really was. But it was exciting to hear.  

Anybody else hear same thing??

The article seemed to indicate all boats that fell under the Genmar umbrella. The article listed only a few of the many they make.
As stated in the first post, there is a link to that list on a right hand sidebar at the end of the article.
