they make x number for the year when they are gone they are gone they start a new production in the summer or around there Yhey are still a small company is all Im sure you could possibly order one for next year..... I think speculating or buy thru the dealers
the few dealers i called on gators website say they won't deal with them anymore because they get poor service. their words. they could be the douches i guess. i've emailed and called with questions and never heard a word. did a quick search and found that this is their MO. if its a guy going to school just doing what he loves in his garage great. but communication is the key. guys will send equipment back and forth forever with a company if they get quick responses. they'll many times buy from that company again regardless of how often they had to use CS on their crappy product. but if a good product doesn't return a vm or email one time, they are done with them.
i lead the customer service team at a small company. an email/call that goes unanswered is worse than putting out bad firmware in my opinion (we sell software). it certainly does more damage.
you see it here all the time. marcum, clam, vexilar, gator, whatever. guys freakout when they dont' get a response.
