New Designs Unveiled By Burger Yacht Following Restructuring At one time the premiere builder of custom aluminum motoryachts, Burger Yachts Company is now un- veiling a number of new designs and a new after-sales service follow- ing a major restructuring. Burger was able to establish a Burger Sales and Service Company through an alliance with the Rybovich Spencer Group. The new alliance will provide Burger with a strong presence in the South Florida area. The well-equipped facilities at West Palm Beach will service the existing fleet with finishing and war- ranty work and serve as sales head- quarters. Burger plans to reopen its Manitowoc, Wise., facility, which will serve as the company's main boat manufacturing site. Burger plans to exhibit a new 90- foot motoryacht design at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Models of 70-, 80-, and 100- foot designs will also be shown.
