Oh well, the Rinker was a good entry boat, but so it goes

I would say they cut their losses.----I doubt sales forecast for the next 2 or 3 years looked rosy.-----There will be more of this.

It's going to more than boats. Car models will be disappearing, marginal divisions of companies will go away and plenty of mom and pop businesses will be gone. I would gladly admit I'm wrong.

This is what happens when a company buys other companies...consolidation.

2 of the best boats I ever had was a Rinker and a Larson. May they RIP

I was primed to purchase a new 20' B/R before COVID hit. Now on hold indefinitely. My 24 yr old Larson is in great shape and will do just fine. I'm hoping the downturn in boat sales will make the mfgrs. hungry, but not dead.
