hauptjm	posted 06-07-2001 12:00 PM ET (US)      Per Boating Industry News(6/6/01): It seems Brunswick has come to terms in selling the Robalo line of boats. Apparently, the line stopped production in January and the new owners will begin production in the 4Q of this year.

hauptjm	posted 06-07-2001 04:01 PM ET (US)          I wasn't aware that Robalo was in such tough times. I've always admired the quality of construction. I guess that shows the retreat from quality by the buying public. Any one know how the other 'quality' (Mako, HydraSport,Regulator, etc.) manufacturers are doing? We sometimes curse the new Whalers, but maybe the company has gotten a formula that works well with todays consumer better than the competition.
