Would be hypocritical.

Re: Why the powerboat industry is sinking.
Since when did it become an OSO rule that each of us must defend, or promote our personal decisions and finances on this website. For those who deem performance boating too much of an expense for them at this time, I understand and respect your decision. For those who remain comfortable with the cost of this experience, I'll repeat what I've been told several times by OSO members on other threads .... just buy bigger!

Re: Why the powerboat industry is sinking.
I am actively looking to replace a 31' V with twins with something larger, in a high quality unit, and I still see 2/3 of the sellers who think their stuff is made of gold, as soon as they find out you are a serious buyer they try and jack up the price, all that mess.
It may be rough for SOME, but for most, nohting has really changed...

So... perhaps individuals are commenting on their personal decisions related to finances not because it is an OSO rule, but rather because they are a factor in the downturn being epxerienced by the power boat industry.
I certainly don't begrudge people who have money to burn.
Those folks will actually help extend the long decline of the industry longer and defer the end until later.

Re: Why the powerboat industry is sinking.
Everytime theres a spike in fuel prices everyone starts talking about the end.. Those who supposedly know tell us there is 50-100 years of sludge left in the ground .. As long as we continue our present policy in the middleeast, we should be all set for a while. And just think, once we nuke Iran well be using oil to flush our toilets ..
