End of the line?

[Lawguy513]

I have heard that Tracker is shutting down the ProCraft line, and closing all of the Travis Marine Centers.     I have spoken to some friends at Bass Pro, who have confirmed this, although my friends at Travis would not comment.     I called my local Travis today, and got a voicemail... this has never happened before.  Another friend in the business told me that he heard that Travis closed on May 22.  Can anyone dispel this rumor?  If not, I must say that closing the ProCraft line will be a huge loss, as the boats performed well, and were relatively cheap, in comparison to Rangers, Skeeters and Nitros (just to name a few).  If I were to replace my SuperPro 200 with a comparable boat of same size and motor, I could expect to pay more than $10,000, with not much to show for it.

I haven't heard anything but I wouldn't be surprised. What does surprise me is that we haven't seen more boat manufactures or certain brands go under. With the way the economy has been I can imagine boat sales are down.

I just bought an 04 pro craft i am sad to see the line go away. On their web site they still were showing 2010 models of procrafts. This must be the last year. Does anyone know where i could at least pro craft tee shirts while they are left.

Procraft is done, I bought a 2003 210 Superpro and loved the boat but just sold it. It is very sad they are a good boat and preformed great, and you are right when you say it would cost at least 10,000 more to replace it. As far as the clothing line you will have to go to a local shop and have them make it since you can not buy from Marine group now, I  purchased probably 5 or 6 shirts last year and now I wish I wouldn't have since I sold my boat.

Did you have any problem with resale value given that this is a dead line?

I do not think I did, I have to say my boat is really a one of a kind at least to me. It has an Ice white hull and a Purple top cap plus it was garage kept and all that. It really is a shame since these boats not only look impressive but fished great and ran extremely well for the size and weight of the hull. They run the same basic hull design as the legend which I know legend will say they modified the mold to improve the ride but for the money you can not find a better boat in my opinion of course.

Try checking on eBay every once in a while. I got two new Procraft t-shirts cheap a few months ago.
