This may not be news and may have been posted here before but I just found out. As a former Arima owner, I still check out the Arima owner's forum. I'd heard that the plant in Kent was closed. I found out that Defiance Boats purchased the company and is making the boats in thier location by the Bremerton Airport. Good to hear as the Palmers don't do anything half way. They should have some in the Seattle boat show next month.
