$591 Million

This quarters loss for Brunswick. This compares to only a $22 Million in losses for the same quarter last year. YTD sales of boats are down 28%.

Brunswick owns Albemarle, Attwood, Bayliner, Boston Whaler, CABO, Crestliner, Cypress Cay, Flipper, Harris, Hatteras, Kellog Marine, Land Sea, Lowe, Lund, Maxum, Mercury, Meridan, Quicksilver, Savage, Sea Ray, Sea Line, Suncruiser, Smartcraft, Triton, Trophy and Valiant among others.

I don't see all these brands going away, but a serious round of divestment by Brunswick is just about a given. Some bargains to be had perhaps?

Who wants to buy a boat company with me?

It's pretty bad when "only" a $22mil loss in one quarter sounds good. I'll sell you a couple of used Hatts if you want to go into the used boat business. :)

They have already shut down a few lines.

One of the guys I play golf with works for Hatteras. They are down to 32 hours along with all the layoffs.
