You know, maybe the 36 is not as sweet as a skater or nor-tech, but alot of us cannot afford that expensive of a boat. My first choice would be a Skater, but I don't have a half millon plus to buy one. My 36 is an awesome boat!! No its not a skater, but I have a hella alot of fun in in for a lot less money. Bob Leach is a first class guy to deal with and a damn good businessman. I'm sure he will survive, but it will be tough for him and alot of manufacturers that are not as financially secure. The strong survive and this economy will thin some out, unfortunately. Only my 2 cents
