I don’t believe that it is. I’d be curious to see what sales were on these. Cool concept but the price was $$$

Yes, definitely still being manufactured . Was at the NuCamp factory twice since September .
They are being manufactured in the NuCamp service center now , across the street from the NuCamp main factory . They pulled the Barefoot from the main manufacturing "line" and replaced it with the Haven . Since the Barefoot is a very low production build , they build them in a smaller scale over in the NuCamp service center for now . I saw several Barefoots in the "mid stages " of build /assembly recently . About 4-6 sitting outside half completed .

Interesting. Since laying up fiberglas is a pretty specialized skill, it probably makes sense for them to lay up a few "hulls" at a time and hold them for when they have orders.

Yes, it looks like they dedicated a small space inside the service center side for barefoot lay up . Saw some molds and "boat building stuff" inside. They had 4-6 assembled "hulls" with the top and bottoms attached , and on frames but otherwise bare .
Strangely , I did not smell any evidence of fiberglass manufacturing like you would have in traditional boat building factory , IYKYK . They must have a very limited production now.

Howdy, Stranger!
