You're right about boating for only the rich, now. How can any

Well, while we're at it, what the money grabbing rapacious marina
operators? Why not just give them a printing press and let them print
money?

You missed the point. There aren't enough rich customers willing to pay
$99 for the cheapassed Chinese 12V fan the company paid $8 for. The
average guy passes it by. IF we had priced the little plastic box fan at
$48, making only $40/fan, They could have sold lots more at higher
profits.....duhh...
