I read this today in the newspaper and thought it might interest others.

TO anyone who follows boating news, this is not news. They industry has taken a real hit, with a serious drop in sales across the board in the US. The reason I say in the US is, there is a silver lining. In Europe sales of American boats are way up. This is because the Euro is so strong against the dollar. I have a boat building news page at http://newboatbuilders.com/pages/news_daily.html

The "boating industry"... ask me if I mind that there are fewer people buying Bayliners today.
