Proline Boats files bankruptcy

I don't defend the management, by "them", I assume that's who/what you mean. I defend the product and the people who built them...

The management? They can all kiss my ass.

Porline pulled outta Florida, screwed their very loyal workforce.

Florida Sportsman forum reports that Porline left their site heavily

polluted, who knows for sure. Then they move to Washington NC

and go belly up. Their very vocal management couldn't mouth

enough how Porline was gonna move all der employees to

Washington to build Porlines, "side by side with Fountains"

What a crock.

Thank goodness, they failed before they had a

chance to destroy the Fountain name as they did Donzi.

Let's hope de ex-employees of Porline find plenty of fulfilling work, soon.

PBR,

Unfortunately, unless the Proline and Donzi models move back down here to the vacant PL plant, the likelihood of those former employees finding work is not very good. Citrus County is very well known for being "anti-business", not so much the government, but the citizenry. If you can imagine Ft. Myers, just move it north a bit. Retirees, in a small area, nice and quiet, and they want to keep it that way.

And you know, as well as I, that no one, especially the management of PL/Donzi, was really going to bend over backwards to assist PL/Donzi employees with getting them jobs at the Fountain plant when there were already thousands of well qualified employees in NC that needed the work. That was just a bunch of bullshit, you know it, I know it, and so do the people who said it. PR was all that was...

Remember when Wellcraft pulled up stakes and high-tailed it to Cadillac? Talked to a few of my old WC buddies at that time. Genmar offered them $700 to assist in re-locating...$700? What the phuck does that do to move an entire household, sell a house, rent a place, drive back and forth 1300 miles...in other words, have a nice day...

They don't give a shit about you or I, plain and simple. I've been in this business a long time, I know...

Oh PBR, BTW, any boat company that vacates a plant? Trust me bud, it's not going to be sold soon. EPA soil samples will ensure that...
