Bottom line is not allot of artic cat dealers around any more either. My local mechanic use to carry artic cat snowmobiles and atv's. He quit in late 90's. Remember arnies cat house and how many sleds he would sell and move.  If weather keeps up we have none in a decade 😳.Â
Someone will buy Arctic Cat. Â Â My guess is that CF Moto or White River Marine aka Bass Pro will buy it. Â Â
Â
CF Moto needs the NA production facilities to gain credibility instead of being another Chinese OE. Â Â
Â
Bass pro is already one of Cats biggest customers. Â Â Johnny Morris is a billionaire. Â He can cut a cheque for Cat and not even flinch.
They ran Polaris into ground too. Cf moto might see some value in it but production will go to Mexico no doubt. I don't think these plants will run again. They just be a future distribution centre I think.Â
Yep, extreme bad timing for Cat and/or poor management.Â
They missed a key moment in releasing the new chassis and 858.Â
Â
Cat is not done, there will be a buyer, just a matter of time….yes I know, glass half full kind of guy.Â
