Boaters' services slowly slipping away..

This may not be the right economic environment to expect sweeping improvements, but IMO we should all sing out when we notice the loss of existing services. ================================================== ===== I couldn't agree more, but what we really need is an effective lobbying force. Unfortunately the industry for the most part is a collection of cottage businesses and have their hands full just protecting their own intersts let alone ours. It's important that we all come to realize that our interests are intertwined. Where is Boat US in all this? THEY are supposed to be our lobbying force but seem strangely silent on many issues. I haven't heard a peep out of them regarding the dock building and manatee madness issues in SW FL, nor have I seen any visability vis-a-vis the ICW dredging issue. We all need to dig into our collective pockets and help to fund a group of high powered lawyers who will sue the pants off any group that takes an anti-boating stance of any kind (jet skis not included :-) ). Sad but true. y'all might want to think about this issue of motorized recreation when it comes time to vote in the next election. Consider which candidates want to ban snowmobiles, and roads, and SUVs, and outboard motors. del cecchi |
