Just saw this some have you may already know. Maybe some one fron Triton can talk about this?http://murphyauction.com/Content/Static/Auction/SSBX/SSBXBrochure.pdf
Seasport and cdory Auction
- Thread starter aknelson820
- Start date
Doggonit, I wish I had the money to purchase the molds for the Pacific 3200. I was seriously planning on that being my next boat.
I don't suppose the Triton folks would be allowed to bid on the Seasport molds, but it would be great if they could pick them up.
Everything I have heard about the SeaSports was positive. They sound like they were well built.

The bank took over the assets of prior SeaSport company--has nothing to do with the current (different) company who builds C Dories. Such are the bankrupty laws--there has been some discussion about the assets of Sea Sport in the past.
Something which happens in todays economic world.

They are selling off cdory molds and boats?

No, they are selling the SeaSport molds, and a bunch of equipment and a partially completed Venture, all repossessed at the OLD SeaSport factory on the Guide Meridian in Bellingham. As Bob says, this has NOTHING to do with Triton Marine which is manufacturing C-Dorys, Ospreys and Skagit Orkas in Ferndale.

However, they are selling off
"C-Dory Venture 23’ (approximately 85% complete) and
(4+) C-Dory work-in-progress boats (various levels of
completion)".
This might be an opportunity for the folks at Triton to get some partial boat builds at a low price. Since they are just about the only guys who can probably make good use of a partially built C-Dory (especially if it's missing some key components), it would make sense for them to buy them.

I think if I where in the market for c-dory as well as the other Triton lines I would be very Careful especially If they are auctioning C-dory Assets as well. The question is do they have all the other molds of the other boats. This is not a question about brand loyalty Its how well does one trust a renamed company! Remember We are not getting the full story and Triton is owned buy the same people. I just posted this as a concerned member looking out for my fellow c-brats.

It looks to me as if they are selling some partially built boats but not any C-Dory molds. I can confirm that the molds necessary to make the C-Dory line at presently at Triton. I have seen them with my own eyes. When a company is reorganized or reformed under a bankruptcy order a wide variety of possible outcomes are possible including the formation of a new and financially independent entity that owns a portion of the assets. I believe that's what happened with Triton.
I have no reason to believe that we are "not getting the full story" (or even that we deserve the full details of what went on in the past). Triton is building good boats and I have every reason to believe that they have as good a shot as any company to survive well into the future. In fact the actions I have seen taken recently by Scott, lead me to believe that they have a better than average shot of surviving well into the future. Let's not cast aspersions unless we have real knowledge about a particular situation.

Oh, I think we have gotten the full story. Scott @ Triton has been fairly open about what happened with regard to SeaSport. It was likely a very smart business decision in a deeply troubled economy.aknelson820":1p7crvuq said:I think if I where in the market for c-dory as well as the other Triton lines I would be very Careful especially If they are auctioning C-dory Assets as well.

Triton owns the C-Dory molds and is not selling them or auctioning them off. And clearly that have made a big commitment to the C-Dory line. So let's not read too much into that auction flyer.
That said, I continue to lament that I won't be able to purchase a new Pacific 3200 some day.

Good Evening, Folks.
I am w/ MIke. This has been heavily bantered, hashed, rehashed and beat to death in other threads. No one likes to admit defeat. There has been a considerable amount of defeat within our country and will be more. Scott has been fairly up front about the Triton and Sea Sport situations.
Unfortunately, auctions are a necessary fact of life. Stuff is going to be for sale at cut rate prices as people try to salvage whatever they can get from closed ventures.
We need to give this one a rest, give Triton the benefit of the doubt as they try to survive and grow, cheer their victories, quit circling the site of supposed or speculated upon weakness like vultures waiting for the kill, and applaud Scott for his and his company's attempt to keep our beloved C-Dory brand a viable venture that will continue to have the boat line available to new buyers when they appear.

Really? Can't say I'm an expert, but none of the pictures on the auction site looks like a C-dory mold to me. Certainly none of the hulls.
Now maybe the auctioneer is just not being very precise, on purpose or otherwise, and what's being sold are molds owned by companies that used to build Sea Sports and C-dories. That would include quite a few models other than C-dories proper.
I agree with Sam and Mike - let's give it a rest.

In the meantime, if someone wants a real "project boat", now's your chance.... If I were there, I'd go just to watch the fun. Lots of other good stuff too.

To all,
Cdory molds are not being auctioned off, the only molds being sold are the Sea Sport molds. I thank all of you for your continued support of the Cdory Brand and look forward to meeting those that are coming up to the Gel-coat seminar tomorrow. ( I am prepping today so that I am ready for you all tomorrow).
As always if you have any questions please don't hesitate to give me a call direct.

Folks I just wanted to chime in that the auction flyer was a little confusing, but to clarify, the Sea Sport assets are being auctioned plus, (2) C-Dory, and (2) Venture boats in various stages of production and one Tomcat deck and hull.
The 23' Venture is very close to completion and the others are still a ways away.
I appreciate all of the comments on this thread supporting Triton Marine and what we are trying to do. We want to be open and transparent with all of you about the past, but also what our plans are in the future.
Please feel free to give Scott or I a call if you have any questions about anything. Thanks

Looks to me as if Scott/Triton has a great chance to buy SeaSport molds and get back into the business of building SeaSport boats.
I'm certainly not privy to any business dealings in Bellingham, but it looks as if the bank is selling all assets they have to recoup some of their losses, which would be good business practice. Note that the auction address is different from the Triton address. And Scott, just like the rest of us, could be a buyer.
Scott has posted pictures of a 25 and 22 C-Dory being built, with molds. And rogerbum has seen the C-Dory molds at Triton. Plus a dealer has said he's getting a couple of Skagit Orca (or is it Orca Skagit) boats built. Looks like a going small concern to me.
Be careful, true, but doesn't look like Triton is trying to pull a fast one. I think Scott is lucky (and good) to still be in business. And appears to be building honest boats.
