Compared to the heavy fiberglass boats built in 1969, a brand new boat

The reality is, there were crap boats built in '69 and good boats
builit in '69. Same thing today, some crap boats, some good boats.

...and the reason we THINK the '69 boats were made so well is that only
the good ones survived.
