I sold off nearly $3,000,000 in new motors and boats, depressing

For near full-retail, too.
$3 million in 1970 translates to about $15 million today.
Must have been one hell of a business to have that sort of inventory.
For comparison sake I wonder what sort of inventory (retail) a typical
Walmart carries.
