Today I was reading about BU and MC releasing their 2024 year-end financial results. Rough times compared to a few years ago. I hate to hear about plant-layoffs for any brand.

Saw some local numbers today, Skiers Choice, Premier, has the biggest market share currently in the Knoxville market. Should come as no surprise as about every other brand has changed dealers recently and some are now totally out of the market. MC and Malibu are still huge of course with Nautique, as they make exponentially more boats, but they are not selling as many right now. Times are changing and getting interesting. Think I will have Ron for a long time.

I believe it on market share. There are more and more Supras and Moombas in "Scott's Cove" every year. But still a good share of MCs pulling tubes.

Matter of time before something is announced for a new BU dealer in Knoxville. If you wanted to own a BU, some of those Tommy's prices were hard to beat on 23s.

If I owned the Nautique Dealer, I would hope my other brands for pontoons and/or jet boats would make up for the low sales numbers. Awesome, but hard sell.

Never understood Centurion/Tige Boats with our market, but I think most local peeps will by MC, BU, or Skiers b/c the Plants are located here.
