Who makes Coleman outboards and ATVs?
 

Coleman sure is branching out into new product categories. Last year it was the small outboards. This year I see in a Cabela's ad that they now have a line of ATV and UTVs out. I assume they are slapping their badge on another company's products. So anyone know?

Are Coleman boats coming next year? :bigsmile:

Coleman
 

I believe Johnson Outdoors owns that company. The same company that owns Minn Kota, Humingbird, Cannon and the list goes on....

Coleman has been selling boats for years! Ever hear of the Scanoe? :)

ever here of a boat called Skeeter?
 

about 1999 we bought a bunch of 18 and 21 foot boats from Fingerhut,they got from overstock coleman

real nice boats

SKEETER

anyone else remember that?

and these were not bottom dollar but very very nice stuff

it was through St. Cloud Minnesota discount before they hit the catolog,

price was about 45 cents on the dollar

the boat motors are nissan from the looks and specs

That's right, I do remember Costco selling the Coleman inflatable along with their 5HP outboard last year. So strange to see a Coleman aluminum. But I guess it must have been equally strange back in the day to see a Sears or Montgomery Wards aluminum boat too.

I just wonder for the outboards and the ATVs, where do you bring them in for service? That's why I wonder who actually makes them. Is the outboard just a rebadged Tohatsu? Are the ATVs a rebadged Kawasaki?

mobil service pickup and drop off
 

we get some products like riding lawn mowers and appliances for house etc from fleet store or sears etc and they have local companies that sell under the standard names service them both while under warranty and after

they even have picked up or serviced these right at our house and its the guys from town here who do this

art pistons- sang chun cranks and rods-castings from??

who do you think made many sizes of mercury motors for years??

fuji motors for polaris??

castings and cranks for yamaha??

the answer is

Coleman has them assembled in China by Hisun. Hisun is focused mainly on research and production of large displacement ATVs and UTVs, motorcycles, general gasoline powered engines and individual replacement parts. They have strict compliance with QMS standards, and have now gained worldwide certificates such as the CCC, COP and E3 certifications.

Many of their products are loosely based on Yamaha; ATV and UTV accessories made for Yamaha Rhinos and Grizzleys will retrofit to the Colemans, as well as a fair number of parts. Warranty on the ATVs and UTVs is 1 year limited, whereas Yamaha offers 6 months limited. There are 4000 service centers across the country. The Coleman ATVs and UTV also come standard with many of the features offered as options with the Yamahas. Winch, aluminum wheels, roof and windscreen are already included. Coleman will also reimburse the cost of an ATV rider course to all new purchasers of their ATVs.

Hope this helps.
