New Boats

[seacraftks]

Was wondering if what i heard is true that they are no longer producing seacrafts and none have been made sine 09

I heard the same thing while I was down in Florida in September- stopped at a SeaCraft dealer wanting to see the 26- was told he had none and they stopped producing for good- he only had used SeaCrafts- very sad to hear- guess we all have collector items

I think Tracker will still make you one if you have the $$$

Thanks for the insight very sad to see a great hull no longer in being produced,

They will be back, hopefully under new ownership.

Most of the boat builders in FL are shutdown or on life support. Many of them, like SeaCraft/Mako moved to the Carolinas, and with the economy in the tank down here, there are not many boats being made. I am not sure this industry is ever coming back to what it was 5 years ago.

SeaCraft has been through many changes and owners. My guess at some point someone will pick up the name and carry on. I would bet some crazy guy over in Edgwater will start production along with restoration .

Most of the boat builders in FL are shutdown or on life support.

Even ProLine is closing it's factory here in Citrus County. There is some talk of a merger or facility-sharing agreement with Monterey Boats 25 miles up the road in Williston, but only an unconfirmed rumor.

ProLine sales are down over 90% from 5 years ago.

I just picked up an '09 23TE Seacraft...there should be one or two of the 26MA models left for sale in Fla. I believe they only built these models for one year and then stopped because of the economy...talk about bad timing. I believe they'll build the smaller models on order but am not sure.

A buddy gets delivery of his new 09 32' in 3 weeks. With twin v-rats he stole this boat! It's a shame to hear they are shutting down.

Yes Sir kinda scary, went up to Cedar Key a few weeks ago and the Pro Line plant is a ghost town. Also went by the Yellowfin plant on my way back from Surplus Marine in Sarasota, another ghost town. I think I saw two boats being built. Makes my old clunker, paid for SeaCraft look pretty good!!!!
