At least this one report says so...

I don't know how far, but it seems the local used boat business isnt'
great but doing better than regional new boat sales.

I've seen some improvement in our business as well. Not a huge amount, but
definitely a difference.

Mine is going gangbusters at the moment and will until about the end
of January of next year, then it will come to a screeching halt until
about the middle of March. My repair work is mostly for Agricultural
and industirial, and so here in the rural midwest, it's mostly
seasonal. Who knows, I might be able to go see some friends in Ft.
Lauderdale in the heart of winter up here, and do some deep sea
fishing....

But all in all I thing there's some over all improvement, I see the SP
Dow and other markets were up a bit today.....
