“Absolutely!” David Huls answered, when asked whether Platinum Equity would honor warranties. “We will honor all warranties for the brands that we bought.” David Huls is President and CEO of “Project Boat Holdings”, the corporate umbrella for Platinum Equity which bought Four Winns, Wellcraft, Glastron, Ranger, Stratos, and Champion from the Genmar Chapter 11 proceedings. “Rest assured that we will stand behind all of the published policies and warranty programs for those brands,” he said adamantly yesterday to BoatTEST.com’s editor, Jeff Hammond. He also said, “We are one of the best capitalized businesses in the boating industry,” he said, “and we will be investing in these businesses going forward.”
Production of Glastron boats will be moved from Little Falls, MN to Cadillac, MI for the 2011 model year, as part of the Platinum Equity consolidation of Genmar assets.

Nice to know they are honoring all past Genmar built boat related warranties as originally written and published. There will be no pro-rata or "goodwill" warranty procedures or stipulations administered under the new Project Boat Holdings umbrella. Very good new indeed for any current Glastron, Stratos, or Ranger owner OR anyone in consideration of these brands in existing dealer inventory built under the old Genmar regime.
