Am I correct in viewing the Boat sector as the best hedge against continued depression of oil prices; as opposed to other service sectors and drillers?

It's a hedge, although I'm not sure it is the best hedge. If you haven't bought HMAR yet, you might want to take a look at TMAR. From what I could gather from the conference calls, these guys are aggressive and smart. Nice combination in management. TMAR reports rising day rates as well as having some built in growth in a few boats coming out of drydock over the next 3-4 months. Boats are being refitted to handle work in deeper water. Majority of the drain in the past several quarters for drydock and lengthening the boats will end in the second quarter providing cash flow to pay down debt.

TMAR is also getting some press of dubious nature in Individual Investor and yesterday on the Motley Fool site.

Free advice and worth every penny.
