I spoke to someone who went to the Annapolis show and he mentioned that Bavaria announced they were leaving the US market, is that true? Their website appears to be down. I know they have been struggling in recent years, and cut back a lot fo their dealers, including one local to me. I doubt I would be interested in one, but it is sad to see yet another manufacturer leave our market. Especially with the disappearance of Island Packet (though there are likely enough of them made for the market out there) and the questionability of Seaward Yachts.
Then to add to that Marlow Hunter was a no-show at the show? That can't be good at all, are they on there way out as well? Same guy said they filed for bankruptcy. Funny all of the above are boats I would not be interested in, but it is sad to see the companies seem to disappear, makes me wonder what it might do to the market I will be in a few years when I go to move up, not that I would be likely to buy new.
