Msaybe so- "ringing true"  but that is what the dealer told us - Insurance
settlement with him & no Mfg. warrantee.  Evergreen was the culprit
resposinble.  Could it be that Evergreens"s insurance paid so much that the
others ie. mfg., decided to just "bail out"?  duuno but the boat list for
$115K+  in 2002 dollars, now it is 2+ years old and should we offer say
55K???
