Nick has a lot of property around Irwindale...I doubt it will be a problem.

Sounds like a smart move to cut the overheads and meet the production numbers. They can not be building a huge number of boats. My bet would be less than one a week. Who knows maybe I am way off.

How many boats do they build a year? Lower the overhead the higher the profits. Just ask MC Hammer.....

I'm not sure what there production schedule looks like, but I'd be surprised if it was one a week right now.. That's a lot of freakin boats for this industry right now.

I would be surprised if it was close to 1 a month right now.

No sense owning a huge facility if you only want to build 12 boats a year.

From what I heard, they have other locations available as well to build the larger boats. I would say they have the resources to do what ever they need to to satisfy their customers.

I had some work done over at Hallett this morning. Dropped the boat off at 7:00am and picked it up at 12:30pm. That's a pretty fast turnaround if you ask me. The showroom and service bay may be small but their customer service is still King...

and a hubcap guy owns the building, lol

Not to worry. Hallett built more boats out of that tiny shop than they ever did on Rivergrade.

Jerry told me a while back that used boat sales and service is what keeps them busy.
