Seems like this is important info for all of us.

Obviously there’s lots of potential positives and negatives. The press release suggests that not much will change, but that’s never how these things go down. Maybe it will be a huge positive? Maybe the feeling of the brand will change away from something that we all love?

Correct Craft for many years was maybe the most well run company and most honorable company in the industry. They also were very innovative and brought a lot "cool" to their boats. That was in the ski wakeboard wake surf niche. When they bought Parker Boats, they upgraded the look of that brand. I think this will be very good for the FM family, and I think the "feel" will change to some degree, but it will be a good change.

Correct Craft's website shows a strong boating history back to 1925. I was very happy to see they are still family owned. I will keep my fingers crossed that Zach Hutcheson, the new CEO keeps quality standards.

On another note, while boating the Colmubia River, our prop hit an unseen/unmarked object and we are now looking for a new prop for our 2011 Ranger Tug 25. We met a really kind gentleman who rowed over to our Ranger Tug 25 in Reid Harbour this past August who worked at Ranger Tug and now Fluid Motion. He upgraded his 25 to a 29 and said he had a new prop if we ever needed one. Unfortunately I don't his contact information and can't remember his name but I believe he moors in Anacortes.

I posted under Chat in Tugnut forum looking for a 1386 Acme Prop. Is Chat the right place to post when you are looking for items to buy? Thanks for you help.
