Idiots....the customers are leaving in droves, including me. That old
Hatteras with the layer after layer of fine fiberglass so thick you
can't hear the waves outside is a much better boat than any of the
crap bubbleboats on the lot made of putty.....


Larry, many more people boat today than in the days of yesteryear. One of the
reasons that is true is because boat prices, relatiely speaking, are reasonable
in comparison to income. If all that were available was the Hatt-level quality
you swoon over, far fewer people would be boating.

Is a "crappy" Sea Ray that gives twenty years of useful service before it's
ready to be scrap really that bad of a product? It certainly isn't a Hattaras,
but a comparable Hattaras might cost twice as much, if Hattaras made a
competing product to traditional Hattaras standards. And far fewer people
would buy it.

Sometimes the mark of a good product is not that it lasts forever. A product
can also be good for delivering functionaliy for less money.
