How about you Frenchie?

For starters, your boat was positively NOT made in England. It was
also not made in the US. I did the research and found out where a boat
virtually identical to yours was built, and it sure wasn't from
England!

Were you aware that "American" cars have a large percentage of parts
made in mostly Asian countries? A LARGE percentage.

Same goes for Harley.

Unless your boat has been repowered since it was brought to the States
as an IMPORT, the Ford engine was not U.S. made. They have plants all
over the world.

Chances are excellent that your "American made" sails were cut and
stitched here out of materials made in another country.

You probably also frequent Dunkin Donuts without realizing it's owned
by the French.

Do Americans make any consumer products these days? I know you have it
all over bombs, guns and spaceships but what about ordinary stuff?

welders, boats, cooking utensils, bbq grills, molded rubber products,
ceramics, epoxies and resins, pens, pencils, tires, light bulbs, rope,
envelopes, nose hair removers and beauty products.
