Notice the word *usually*. Some of us make an investment in a boat
knowing
we're going to lose our shorts!


Ironically enough some people make money by investing in boats.
Professionals who buy low, fix up and sell high are one thing. But
around here boat prices have been on the rise so much that a few people
get more from their old boat than they paid!

Harry's right. We still have labor unions. Go figure...
