For Four Winns and the city of Cadillac.

Quote:
Yacht maker Four Winns gets $27.1 million in tax credits to hire 2,320 workers in Cadillac CADILLAC -- A state board on Thursday signed off on tax credits for an eight-year, $63 million plan to rejuvenate and hire 2,320 people at yacht maker Four Winns.

The tax deal is worth $27.1 million to the company over eight years and is designed to lure investment in Cadillac instead of competing sites in Minnesota and Tennessee


And one of the reasons why.....
Quote:
Glastron move to Four Winns facility confirmed Production of Glastron Boats will move from Little Falls, Minnesota to the Four Winns facility in Cadillac, Michigan before the model year changeover. David Huls, president and CFO of Project Boat Holdings, told the Cadillac News that the former Genmar brand would probably make the move this summer.


This is great to hear.

I LOVE it!

I'm super excited to hear that glastron is going back to a normal hull tecnology. The VEC stuff was interesting and cost effective, but I don't think it's better than a good hand laid hull.

Brunswick finally has some competition - as the consolidation will allow for more bulk ordering, which means lower COGs.

Maybe They will go Volvo-only... wouldn't that be interesting?
