craigdritchie Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) This is kind of old news, but I hadn't seen any reference to it here so thought I might mention the Tracker Boat plant in Lebanon, Missouri got hit by a tornado this week. My understanding is that the building took a glancing hit and isn't in too bad shape. Part of the roof was ripped off, there's part of an outside wall gone and there's some interior damage from the suction effect. Factory should be able to resume boat production in a week or two. I'm told that although the tornado didn't hit the building squarely, it did plow right through the middle of an attached compound where something like 300 completed boats were parked outside waiting to be shipped. The guy I spoke to said they'll be pulling boat parts out of the trees for weeks. That's really sad, and has to be a huge economic kick in the pants for Tracker. A couple of marinas on nearby Table Rock Lake also got hit by tornadoes. Damage to boats, docks and such is apparently pretty extensive. Anyway, just in case you hadn't heard ......

Grimace Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 No biggy, the boats already had cracks in them. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. They are going to have to keep accusing people of 'rough trailering'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
