My bet is a well known private equity firm. I've known about this for a few weeks. I took an inquiry about an insurance matter relating to an acquisition so that kinda spilled the beans. But I don't know anything specific and I can't qualify it beyond a rumor.

Just like what happened with MC.

MC has had some nice innovations since that group's taken over. Not all hope is lost if something like that happens. Bob will most likely be gone, but hopefully they can come up with some kind of golden handcuffs to keep the brain staff onboard.

Only time will tell.

I heard it was Herb and Paul O'Brien. Herb and Paul said that their dream to create the most complete watersports product lineup was not fulfilled until they could also offer the boat and the perfect butter to go with the boards and skis. They are going to change the name of Malibu to Radar Boats. When combined with their super fancy proprietary SquareOne Ronix Radar wakeboard designs, you will get massive pop off the massive wake. If you ride a Hyperlite board, you will faceplant repeatedly. You will only be able to drive a new Rader Wakesetter VLX at Radar Lake and only then if your name is Parks or Harf.

maybe this will help

Info

just so we all know, the Malibu boat company in the link is a company in canada that is not related to the company that makes our Malibu boats.

Well Duh! No one would have even believed that - simple - no tribal graphics and ordinary gel work.

My source is telling me the deal is going down this Friday. There will be a press conference at noon at which point they will disclose the details of the sale and the identity of the clandestine buyer.

In the mean time feel free to venture guesses as they are entertaining :)

If a big company is going to buy Malibu, it can only be good for Correct Craft, Master Craft and all the others. Not for Malibu.

Update.....

My source unintentionally had a slip of the tongue in talking about the sale which leads me to a very very strong opinion as to the identity of the buyer.

I believe it will be Jimmy Buffett. Warren Buffett, his second cousin on his Mom's side, is backing the financing with his own personal funds. Given Jimmy's love for the water and all things tropical and warm, this should be a good fit for the company. I also believe he will be a very hands off owner.

And before you ask....no my source is not a parrott.
