I hope that not the case. I really like that style of boat and would hate to see a decent manufacturer go under. Anyone here heard anything?

The thread in your link was started 4+ years ago...

There's no question that things have not been great in the industry since fuel went out of sight, but I'd be really surprised if someone of their size and sales was among the first to go.

There is no truth to the thread on iBoats. I missed the date on the thread and I am going to ask for this thread to be deleted.

My apologies.

Rumors abound in the boating world!!! I think I have seen at least 20 threads on different Manufactures over the last 6 months....Mark

Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot.

No apology is required.

iBoats has now locked the thread at my request. Lester has also e-mailed Contender for a financial explanation. Contender is in no financial difficulty. Sorry for any problem this may have caused anyone.
