Cape Cruiser out of business?

Their web site says they're gone, or have I been tricked?

It appears true. I called the factory and nobody answered.

This is a real loss. Whether you are for or against CC, I think everyone would agree that competition is a good thing. Because of CC, CD has and is making many improvements to their boats. Or at least they are looking at ways to improve their boat.

This is what the website says:

"Thanks everyone who helped make Cape Cruiser Boats a part of their boating experience. We are sorry to say that Cape Cruiser Boats Works, LLC is no longer in business.
God Bless You All!"

Here's a LINK to their website for looking at the message.

Might be a difficult time for a dealer that switched from C-Dory to C-C!

I am on my way to the Seatac, I think that I will stop by and see what's what. A real loss if true. Robbi

Does something not smell quite right or am I just being cynical?

Cape Cruiser LLC

Limited Liability Corporation.

According to the CC dealer here in So Cal, the factory couldn't keep up with the orders, so it wasn't likely sales.

Same old Same old management. so the bane of all businesses, poor management, doesn't seem likely.

What could bring on a sudden cessation? Gak, I smell lawyers.

Sorry nephew Pat, very few are as good looking, laid back, honest and brew knowledgable as you are. The smell of hops is far more pleasant than the smell of Armani suits....

Thank god we don't bought a boat for 50K from them...

King County Superior Court, Case 05-2-18309-8.

I'm guessing the above has something to do with it.

Well, we should have some interesting follow up post start showing up shortly! Cry

I wonder if the factory has any unused parts lying around that could be purchased reasonably? I could be in the market for one of them Anchor Wenches!

After a bit of searching on the court's website I came up with the following:

The case cited above by Bill involves a suit filed in June of 2005 by C-Dory Marine, Inc. against:

C-Dory, Inc.
Cape Cruiser Boat Works
The Farm Company
Barry, Chantel, and Gene Sterner
Ben, Dana, Dawn, Mack, Mark and Roy Toland.

I found no mention of the plaintiff's plea nor any details of the suit and it appears that it is still in court.

This is very sad. CCs are great boats and can (could ?) only be a positive presence in the marketplace. More competition means lower prices, innovation, and greater customer service. To me CCs mean better CDs.
