MasterCrafts Sister Line

[corey]

I was down at the MC Factory earlier this week mostly to look at the new MC's rolling down the line but I also got to check out a bunch of Hydra Sports rolling out too!

I was really surprised at how many of these are being made, MC is still the bulk of production by far but apparently the salt water guys like them some Hydra Sports!

Cool looking boats. Triple 300 HP Yamahas would probably get the job done.

And now that they are used to rigging outboards again lets see a new barefoot boat! PLEASE MC!!!

Happened in 2010. Good way for Mastercraft to keep the factory running at 100% capacity.

Their design-a-boat application sure looks familiar too: http://www.hydrasports.com/dab/

Crystal River I believe...or that may have been Pro Line. Either way, is their Florida plant closed now?? not good for jobs in FLA. Does Master Craft now own Hydra Sport?

Prolines are from Crystal River, Hydra Sports were started in TN then moved around a little bit.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa




We'll work with them to help clear up warranty issues," he added. "As you can imagine, we didn't profit any from the boats that were sold that are under the warranty population, so it will be partial participation, not full participation and we're going to try to work with dealers to help create an environment where we can use future sales to help fund some of their past receivables."

The new owners are not legally responsible for money owed to vendors, dealers or customers by the previous owners.

"We believe the vendors will have to work directly with Genmar on those claims," Dorton said. "We do intend to go back to the vendors that had been working with Hydra-Sports, set up new relationships and give them an opportunity to move forward with MasterCraft."
