I hadn't heard that I wonder why? Someone will surely take them over. I Line-X'd mine so it'll be here forever.

Nothing deffinite Steve, i know it sold a little after i bought my 04 model. Most of the guys building the boats worked at Ranger full time & there part time back then. It may be a sign of the times.

That could surely be it Grumpy. May not be worth their time given their other work.

Like Mike mentioned someone else could pick it up and continue on just like when it sold previously.

 Found out the whole Supreme Boat saga from the mouth of the new Shawnee owner. Supreme went bankrupt due to building a massive facility they couldn't afford to heat while also rolling two hummers, two vets and a house in the keys all into the business loan.  When the Supreme owner saw the writing on the wall, he destroyed all of the molds so the bank couldn't repo the mold and have someone else selling his boat. So you won't see anymore supreme's even from another owner.

Thanks for the update Phil.

That Shawnee design looks very similar.

This boat would be pretty easy to reverse engineer. He had alot of potential in those boats what a shame to squander such a genuine opportunity to make it big time. 

Problem with these boats is getting people to talk about them. Once you have one you don’t want any one else to….

No problem pulling a mold off an existing hull.  I've done it before while building glass kayaks many a year ago.

Steve,  I might need your boat for a month this winter.  Are you in. ???
