Be surprised if it does not shut down real soon. Florida Keys are closed as of 6pm this night, boat ramps and marinas in Miami Dade county closed effective immediately . Things are happening fast.
Maybe someone from Nautique will chime in here on production and/or possible production shut down? I doubt Correct Craft Company would qualify as an essential business therefore my gut feeling is that a production shutdown is eminent but this is merely speculation on my part.
I would be incredibly surprised if there aren't already delays. If FL schools are closed there are no doubt assembly line workers who can't come in. And no supply chain will go without disruption. Enjoy the extra time with your family and just accept the fact that your new boat will almost undoubtedly be delayed and if that's the worst you have to deal with than....it's aalllll goood man.
I work for a tech company in the Bay Area and the supply chain delays (besides China) have already begun. Its only a matter of time until that flows down to end products in the coming months.
My G23 was delivered to my dealer last Thursday. One week early. I would suspect delays will start popping up very soon though. I heard Malibu shut their factory down.
As of yesterday, the factory was still up and running, but with reduced staff. No idea how much longer they'll be running.
I own and operate Silver Cove Marine, which is an inboard boat restoration, service, and sales facility located in Mooresville, North Carolina. We specializes in Nautiques and Correct Crafts, and also provide general service for Nautiques fifteen years old and older.
If we can be of service to you, please contact us anytime!
Thank you for updating this thread. I am having trouble finding much news on this topic, and I am trying not to pester my dealer too much. I believe Orange County passed an order to shut down non essential business on Thursday. I assume the Nautique plant will be required to suspend activity correct? I have a custom order that was slated to begin production mid April for an early May delivery. Crossing my fingers things go as planned. Please keep us updated if anyone has news. It is much appreciated!
Exactly...I'm in the same "boat". I have a custom order P25 that was scheduled to build in the next few weeks. I'm hoping that my 2020 doesn't arrive a week before the 2021 models do. Not fun taking delivery of a new "last-years" boat. I don't blame them for keeping things quiet, but it's time for more info. Thanks to all! Stay safe.
Update from my dealer: The factory is still running. They are allowing employees to take time off as needed for hardships caused by the pandemic; therefore, there will most likely be slight delays. They are estimating these delays will be days not weeks at this point.
My dealer in Austin told me yesterday that production in still on track - expected completion on April 2nd, which is a week earlier than first projected. FL hasn't ordered any businesses to shut down yet, but I'm not sure how long that will last. Not sure how dealer installs and delivery will go, but so far, so good. Nautique 200 almost done! Fingers crossed!!
