I just found out that KCS International, the parent firm to Cruisers Yachts at Oconto, purchased Azure Sport Boats. Production of Azure boats was moved from South Carolina to Oconto and the first boat rolled out of the plant a few weeks ago.
This brings Cruisers back to her earlier days with a product line that includes smaller boats. Well, if you consider 22 ft. small. In the past two decades the smallest boat Cruisers made was about 36 ft.
So, Wisconsin lost Yar-Craft Boats earlier this year when the closed down and moved to Arkansas, but now has gained Azure.
