Just spotted in the local rag, closing down sale notice for motorama bayside marine.. :o

Pretty sad state of affairs, marine industry sufferring badly from the economic downturn plus all the other polical crap going on at the moment.

sorry to see.

Companies have "Closing Down Sales" all the time, doesn't necessarily mean the end of a company. They could be changing their business model, moving premises.

We had a popular tackle shop up here last year, who had a closing down sale, just meant they wanted to get rid of as much stock as possible before the move into their new premises.

Until we see information saying that they are rapping up the business and being liquidated, we can only assume they are still okay!!!

Yeah you could be right, I have noticed that they have substantially reduce their stock though in the last few months, thought they were being cautious in the current conditions.

Lets hope hey..

One of the salesmen is a mate of mine and filled me in a couple of weeks ago. The lease has run out and Motorama aren't renewing it. That's it end of story.

Yep it's true. Dad brought his stacer from there last year and they sent him a letter a couple of weeks ago saying they were closing down and where he could now get his motor serviced.

Me too. They told us before they started building our boat incase we wanted a refund of our deposit, if it made us feel that they had desserted us for after sales service or enquiries.

We will follow Michael and have our servicing done by him. Glen and the guys treated us very well and it's a shame to see them go :(

Thanks Bayside...lovin our boat!! ;)

if you feel that way that Motorama won"t let you down you are100 % right. Very customer loyal and do'nt forget they are a privatly owned and operated and also 100% they way they sell carsas well. Inlike
