Catchercraft will be retiring at the end of 2023, after 12 years and a great run. Ken Rambow built his first boat frame in 1988, the year I graduated from high school. Close to two thousand boat frames 35 years later, Ken will (mostly) be hanging up his welding mask to pursue other endeavors. There were two guys who were very interested in keeping the Catchercraft name going, but one had to decline for health reasons and the other because his financial backing fell through.
Ken and I are proud of the business we built together. We tried our best to provide high-value, quality products at a reasonable price and excellent customer service to go along with it. Our fishing and family time definitely took a cut, but we hope our customers appreciated the sacrifice. In the close to 800 boats we sold under the Catchercraft name, I can only recall two, maybe three customers who were not fully satisfied with their product and asked for a refund, which we happily returned.
With the extra time that will be available to us, Ken plans to fish more and perhaps even pick up the shot gun again to renew his love for bird hunting. I hope to do the same, in addition to finishing a new place we just started building in Ellensburg and spending more time with grandchildren. What a blessing those little ones have been!
We are cancelling our phone number and closing other business aspects at the end of the month but may have a few final specials to list. In addition, we may have some accessories available in small quantities (oars, straps, seats, etc.) if anyone is interested.
Thanks for your support, we hope you have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a safe boating and fishing season in 2024 and beyond.
