BOATU.S. SAYS SUMMER BOATING SEASON WAS BETTER THAN EXPECTED

With Labor Day marking the end of the summer recreational boating
season for many Americans, BoatU.S. reports that some good weather,
some great fishing and a less-than-anticipated impact of fuel prices
have kept boaters boating and it's on-the-water towboats busy this year
helping disabled vessels, providing fuel drop-offs and tows back to
port.

BoatU.S. on-the-water towing companies, --TowBoatU.S. and Vessel Assist
-- report the following general observations on recreational boating
activity:

Northeast/Mid-Atlantic: Continued good weather has meant more boats on
the water and an increase in requests for on-the-water assistance over
last year.

D'oh. Well, certainly a towboat operation should know if its business is
up over the previous year, but what stats is BOAT/US using to prove that
there are "more boats on the water" than last year?

More frequent out of fuel calls.
