Tempe Marine shut its doors July 31, 2008. I have not heard the real reason why, only thing that I could think would be slow boat sales. I have known Jerry Gusman, Cary Serklew and a few other reps who did a fine job in promoting Champion however the weak economy probably helped throe the Final towel in. I am sad today and am obviously no longer a Pro Staffer. I do want everyone to know that they did push Pro Staff guys to be in brand new boats but was not mandatory. I will be purchasing a new Champion as soon as I see that the economy will hold a little stronger. I will be ordering a 210 with a Mercury 250 Pro XS. That is my goal. I am very deeply sadened by this and Lea was nice enough to let me know. I was never TOLD ABOUT them parting with Champion a year ago and am very upset. i think that they did not want us to know but I was never never told that. I do not know what to think.. Thanks to all of you. I will try to go to the Champion Owners tourney in Sept. I have a new son and i will be busy. I feel like a complete IDIOT and I hope that I did not ruin my rep here. I was a Pro staffer and they kept it up even though they stopped dealing Champion a year ago. Again I apologize for telling all of you I was still Pro Staff status. I am no longer as of last month i guess LOL/.
