Hobie SOLD to Bass pro shops!

What does this mean for the future?
Is this going to be another Ranger boat deal for Bass Pro Shops- build 'em and sell 'em?

What do you think?

I'm in the market for a new Hobie, and this is good news to me. My local dealer dropped Hobie after the the last takeover.

Bass Pro Shops, White River Marine Group, North America’s leading outdoor and conservation-focused company, acquires legendary water sports brand Hobie – will return Hobie production and jobs from Mexico back to America’s Heartland, Lebanon, Missouri, U.S.A.

Probably good news. Should hopefully improve the availability of parts, customer service, etc.

I really don't understand what happened to this brand. Hopefully Johnny Morris and Co. can help turn it around. Still the best saltwater fishing kayak out there.
