hang in there, Skip. Boats are not selling well right now, though brokers are
always telling everyone that now is the best time to buy.

The stock market is doing well, housing prices are sky high and rising,
unemployment is about 5.4% and still the boats seem to be standing there.
Whoever is in the White House 10 months from now will have to take some bitter
economics pills for the excesses of the middle 1990's to today. No bitching
one way or the other about the guy in there now, but it looks like he has
delayed the bitter medicine (what political party wouldn't?) until early 2005.
He administers the medicine or the next guy does. People in their mid-30's
have seen just one recession -- and a mild one at that -- in their entire
working careers. boat prices are likely to be much lower spring of 2005.
