The boat re-sale market has changed considerably over the past few

Up here in BC, seeing the opposite, mind you I'm watching 20'bowriders
mostly, not bathtubs with parachutes :-)

As economy perks along at full tilt more and more are buying, and with
such
a strong canuck dollar american boats looked good but now they are trying
to gouge canuck buyers. Ads on craiglist and such are $k's higher than
just a few months ago as they try to take advantage of CAN$.

So what you are telling me is that I should have charged Don more for
my boat than I did?

Damn - now he tells me. :)

I should have got you to hold the boat a couple of months for me. The way
your yankee dollah is slidin', it would seem like I was getting your boat
almost free by paying in American cash. I heard today the loonie was worth
$1.04 US.- Hide quoted text -

The Canadian dollar may eventually be headed for $1.50 US. The Yankee
buck has been reduced to junk bond status.

No political comment, just a fact:

The last time we had $zero in National debt, Andrew Jackson was
President. Between the presidency of Andrew Jackson and May of the
year 2000, the US national debt rose to $5.7 trillion.

Between May of 2000 and October 2007, the national debt increased from
$5.7 trillion to over $9 trillion. A 50% increase in the last seven
years. Good grief!

Oh well, an item in the paper this morning said "exports are up, with
the collapse of the US dollar everything for sale in the US suddenly
seems cheap." Maybe that's the bright news. :-)
