The real question here is where did the molds, and the partially finished
boats go?  It would seem that a person who had a deposit should have some
rights to at least purchase a partially finished boat.

We have purchased a number of boat items at auctions. It is not unusual to not
see the most valuable assets in these auctions.  We have also purchased items
before the situation came to auction--and in these cases purchased partially
finished boats, or the molds and manufacturers name.  In some cases, we went
to company executatives homes to purchase essential parts which were no longer
in warehouses.  I am not suggesting that this might happen in this case.

It is a real shame that this company did not make it.  The product was
excellent and they made a lot of inroads to popularize the relitatively
in-expensive trawler cat.  Probably the "best buy" on the market.  And,
perhaps this is why they failed.
