Article Abstract:
Outboard Marine Corp's (OMC) bankruptcy worries dealers because of unresolved issues concerning floorplan, rebate and warranty. Some of the dealers warn that they may follow OMC into bankruptcy if these issues are not resolved immediately. Waukegan, IL-based OMC, which is the No 2 boat and engine manufacturer in the US, on Dec 22, 2000 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and has been operating on a barebones basis under the authority of the US Bankruptcy Court for Northern Illinois.
