[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 38402, member: 123"] Layoffs of workers and cutbacks on Pro Staffs starting to hit some of the major companies in boating: [u]From Bassfan.com[/u]: "More Brunswick cuts: Lund 7/11/2008. Brunswick continued to cut positions today in its effort to downsize, and eliminated several pro-staff and marketing related positions at Lund Boats. The news again raises the specter of what lies ahead for bass-related Brunswick brands such as Mercury and Triton – in particular, pro-staff and tournament-sponsorship activities. Both Mercury and Triton maintain large, hard-hitting pro staffs and sponsor a significant portion of the nation's bass tournament trails (as Lund does on the walleye side)." Here's a link with more on the subject: (dated 7/8/08) [url]https://www.walleyefan.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=353[/url] Do you think the layoffs at the factories will affect warranty issues (repairs) being resolved (in a timely manner) for customers?
