Thread: Commander boats BK?

    Is it true, did Sy file for protection under Chapter 11? They just stuck my buddy with nearly $90,000 in UNPAID invoices if it is. Will this effect thier customer service?

    Haven't heard of the chpt 11. I know when I bought my Commander in 2001 SY was having some tax problems which he told me was due to his accountant(when in doubt blame it on the accountant). It was a pretty big deal at the time, it even was in the public notice section of the Press Enterprise. I have since sold the Commander so it doesn't affect me, and hopefully it doesn't affect anyone else.

    They are always busy when I'm down there so if it's true, where'd all the money go? I was thinking about getting their new deck boat after this season too so I hope they keep making them!

    I was just there Thursday, it looked far from being BK.

    I hope it's true. Maybe someone else will buy the name and put together a quality boat again. I bought two commanders the last one was a 2001 26 Sig. I had to sell it after the first season. i think they put it together with bubblegum and duct tape.

    Maybe Sy just filed BK to dodge some of the lawsuits he's been threatened with !! He's gotta have some money stashed somwehere. He sure doesn't put in back into his manufacturing facility, nor does he spend it to hire quality employees !!

    Hey OG, I think their customer service has already been "affected"... for the last few years actually !
    Like tool 'n' jet said, maybe someone new will come along and turn the company around. With some good experience, I think they could build a quality boat, AND good customer service...let's hope !!
