As long as we're speculating, my guess is that there's only ONE Bussekin company with THREE marketing divisions, Jerry's protests to the contrary notwithstanding. (Even if I'm wrong about that and the companies really are separate, I believe Jerry still maintains ultimate control over them because he controls the Wauseon production schedule.) I'd further speculate that Jennifer's involvement in Swamp Rat is in name only as she has never taken an active interest in managing the company. Rather, I suspect that Eric runs Swamp Rat in precisely the same way Skunk runs the BCS. Without Eric, there is no Swamp Rat just like without Skunk, there is no BCS. Eric and Skunk are not members of the Busse family and their needs are secondary concerns for Jerry. If it serves him to provide them with product, he does. If it doesn't, he doesn't.
As others have suggested, I believe the reason we haven't seen a new SR101 blade in over a year and Swamp Rat production has slowed to a trickle doesn't have anything to do with Eric or Jennifer. If I'm correct, these kinds of decisions are driven from the top down. And "complaining" to Eric is a waste of breath.
Again, these are just best guesses based on my own personal observations. They're worth exactly what you paid for them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
you took the words out of my mouth,seriously.
you can tell a busse designed blade at first glance amd how would that be if one person didnt design them.whether SY,SR or BC all the blades are very similar from company to company.
again this is speculation but since we dont get many facts thats all we can do
i dont think that SR is done and quite honestly think its ridiculousness to say so.i dont know about production costs but we all know theirs no problem on the sales side when it comes to SR.
its a business owners dream.....if you make them they will come/sell....guaranteed,no ifs ands or buts,every single last one of them and like hot cakes.thses fricken busse boys cant loose.i tip my hat to them,more power to them and they must read these conspiracy theories and think we're either morons,wierdos or loosers,me included,probably first in line too.......
