So, you post admitted speculation, and someone else posts what appears to be verifiable data points?
The Diamond Island crash could certainly have been a turning point in the relationship, but it is just as easy to believe that it really had no bearing on the matter.
In the grand scheme of things I don't find the fact that Formula is changing their local relationships to be all that noteworthy. As a brand/manufacturer they appear to be making changes across the board. Several other boat brands, brands that were not associated with any 'incidents', have changed dealers, gone away, or re-appeared at local dealerships.
As others have said, both LBM and Lakeport Landing appear to be upstanding dealers who take care of their customers. It's natural for people to want to create rumor and gossip around things like this. Usually though the truth is much less interesting than the speculation...
