    • They did say they were going to adjust production to better meet the market demand, while at the same time being a little more aggressive in price points.

    • Revenue missed, but EPS beat estimates this quarter.  Stock is down a little on the open today. 

      Predicted Q4 and Year-End Q4 for revenue to be down 40%.

      Overall the company reported uncertain economic conditions (interest rates) will remain and focus will be on dealer inventory.  Much will depend on how summer sales decreases inventory and that effects production numbers and factory staffing.

      Sounded like 2025 will be flat sales.

    • Thanks all. I will order the vesconite bearing and dripless seal. 

    • Wow. 

      Is this as bad as the numbers look?

      And Im not knowledgeable on this kind of thing, but I would think all these boats that the banks will sell off will have an affect on how much dealers buy for little while which will just add fuel to the fire.

      Yeah, I used a hacksaw blade, and cut a slice in each of the old ones and then was able to press/knock them out.  With the metal sheath around the rubber you have to be careful you cut that but not the strut, and it does take some time.  I used some 1/2” threaded rod, some washers, and a few nuts to build a puller of sorts to press the new bushings in.  Oh, and make sure you remove the set screws from the strut if it’s got them before you try to cut the old bushings out.
