Five days into the show, and extremely reliable sources from three of
the upper end boat dealers at the indoor show report some encouraging
news.

Recession? Fuggetaboutit, at least in some economic classes.

One Brunswick division representing yachts between the mid 30 foot to
just under 60 foot size range:

"Sales are most definitely up from last year. No question."

Another Brusnwick division representing boats and yachts traditionally
considered very high quality: "Sold" signs on 2/3 of their large
display as of Tuesday PM. I double checked to make sure all were
legitimate, and a reliable source assured me that they were.

One dealer is showing a 55-foot luxury yacht. Two sold, closed, and
already financed. A couple still going through the financing process.
Several "good leads". He's very pleased, to say the least.

If this economic indicator is worth anything, the national news may be
overstating the certainty of a recession, at least in the Pacific
North Wet.

I think the boats you are talking about are out of the range of your
average Joe Six-Pack.

True dat but, maybe they won't have to lay off the guy/gal building
the seat cushions in the galley. Maybe he/she can afford to buy
that skiff....... since they won't be out looking for another job.

Das good news indeed.

Gee, I wonder why ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and CNBC are trying their hardest to
make sure we dump into a recession. We even have a member or two here who
hope we do and continue to delight on bad economic news. A shame.




Recessions tend to impact most those who work for a living at employment
that provides a middle class or less income. The rich aren't much
affected. As Chuck pointed out.

I am in favor of anything that turns the White House over to the
Democrats in the fall.

The fact that you and your comrades put the push for political power at the
cost of the economic health of the Country is pathetic Harry.




The economic health of this country is lousy, and it has nothing to do
with me or my preferred political party. It is GEORGE W. BUSH who has
been the head of state for the past seven years, and if the country has
pursued the wrong economic policies, run up the wrong sorts of deficits,
funded the wrong sort of war, and borrowed too much $$$ abroad, blame him.

They are probably shorting us, the way Billary did with all the pharma
stocks right before dumping her last "health care initiative". She
repotedly made a lot of money on that one. and she drove it up, then
down almost single handedly by pushing her fake plan...

boaters.

Right there is where you lose most thinking folks, Doubt many read
the rest of your paragraph, for better or worse, most here are
interested in honest debate... Oh, yeah, based on facts, not evil
wishes for my our country...

and it has nothing to do

See, now there is yet another example of your ignorance. *I* am the one
here who has been railing against the "yachties," their overblown boats,
their wasting of petrol, and the need for huge surtaxes on the amounts
of fuel they burn.
