See ignorance daily
Butch pretty well covered the basics. Genmar (owned Champion, Ranger and Stratos, among many others) filed bankruptcy over a year ago. Platinum Equity (investment firm) bought Ranger, Stratos and Champion. Moved the Stratos/Champion operation to the Ranger facility in Flippin, AR. Decided that Stratos marketing could better support Champion, so they are now building the 3 Champions under the Stratos banner. Our hulls are unchanged, except for the decals.
