MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. completed its acquisition of Marine Products Corporation on May 15, 2026 [1].
The move allows MasterCraft to diversify its recreational marine portfolio by integrating two established brands. By adding Chaparral and Robalo to its holdings, the company aims to broaden its market reach and product offerings across different boating segments [2].
The transaction involved a specific payout to the shareholders of Marine Products Corporation. MasterCraft paid $2.43 per share to finalize the acquisition [3]. This financial arrangement concludes the merger process between the two entities, which were based in Vonore, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia [1].
Industry analysts said the acquisition is a sector-disrupting move [2]. The integration of Chaparral and Robalo is expected to shift the competitive landscape of the recreational boating industry by consolidating several leading brands under one corporate umbrella [4].
MasterCraft, traded on the NASDAQ as MCFT, now manages a more diversified array of marine products following the close of the deal [1]. Marine Products Corporation, previously traded on the NYSE as MPX, is now a part of the MasterCraft organization [1].
