Les: Neat article. Been kicking around boats (mostly the sailing kind) for close to 40 years. The most accurate comment in that article was the one that referenced the fact that boat sales figures are among the first to fall when the economy so much as sneezes. Another interesting point to note is that while they may sell you a big boat, they sure do not tell you where you might be able to keep it, or what "dockage" (when it can be found) is worth these days. Buying the boat is the easy part. (g) Best, Earlie

Les, How sad it will be when they spend big bucks on a yacht and then discover they get seasick. <g> I'll tell you one thing I know for certain. The price of the yat-chit is not the biggest cost factor. Wait until they try to find a parking place for the thing. <g> The old saying goes, what are the two happiest days of your life: 1. When you can finally afford to buy a yacht. 2. When you finally sell your yacht. <g>
