Big Boat Business Has Been Brisk
I took a seaplane up to Roche Harbor to cover one of the many owner's
rendezvous we see up this way every spring and summer. The boats were all 36-60 feet, (nearly all 42 or larger and over 50 very common). The least expensive boats run about $500k, with 7-figure price tags extremely common. This line of Asian trawlers has been imported by the regional dealer for about 5 years, so I was impressed to see over 30 boats gathered the last weekend in April at Roche Harbor. When I remarked about the large gathering, I was told that several of the people who had intended to come had to change plans at the last minute, or the gathering would have been larger. "We'll have a substantially larger group next year," said a representative of the local broker/importer, "we currently have orders for another 31 yachts." That's a lot of upscale boat business, by any standard. |
