About a year and a half ago TIARA Yachts here in Holland had over 800 employees. About 8 months ago they laid off 400. Friday they laid off 300 leaving 100. It is supposed to be for 5 weeks until they can fill their order file. Looks like all the manufacturers are boatin' in the same pond. |

Yep..... Quote: MasterCraft last week laid off about 110 workers, or about a third of its workforce, from its production and administrative facilities in Vonore, Tennessee. The builder makes high-end wakeboard boats and cruisers. The company said that about 200 employees will remain at the facility. Those laid off will not receive severance packages. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/feb/2 ... e-company/ |

Rough times. OUCH. Hopefully the 2008 model year boats will hold their resale due to the very limited numbers of 09s! |

Tiara's hardly ever drop in value at the same rate as the rest of the market. When I bought my V298 (which was 4 years old at the time), I had to look back to 10 year old Tiaras to get in the ballpark price wise, and then they were rare. By the way CougarCruiser, I owe you an apology for my post on the 'top 3-5 reason' thread. I called you Cougar Cat like the boat brand. I put all blame on the Eliot Ness brew I was consuming. The gravity was much higher where I was standing and it made it harder to move my fingers on the keyboard! Any news on your genset? I'll watch that thread. |

Proper response to President Obama's proposed 2010 budget annonced the same day that rolls back Bush's tax-cuts for the wealthy and totally eliminates the mortgage interest deduction. I wonder how many people who make less than $250k a year own a Tiara? |
