I guess it just goes to show that we boaters, (who pursue a pastime
that doesn't make any financial sense) will not be deterred when a
single element, such as the price of fuel, makes less sense than ever.

It's interesting to note that these figures are for the 3rd quarter;
before the election season rollback of gas and diesel prices really
began.

Why the need to politicize this Chuck?

????????????

Is there some question about, or is it somehow a matter of "political
opinion", that fuel prices
are dropping and that an election is imminent?

It's a simple statement of fact that 3rd quarter boat sales were strong
despite the fact that for most of the 3rd quarter there was no relief
from high fuel prices in sight.

It's also a simple fact that for generations incumbent politicians from
both parties have "jawboned" to the best of their ability to frame the
economy in the best possible light
pior to a major election.

Why the need to pull one line out of context and ignore the rest of the
message?
