I find it amazing for the absolute premium in which they sell the boats for that they choose to manufacture in Brazil.

Its not like they are a have 1000s of staff and millions of sq feet facilities.

I was thinking along those lines too. But figured I can't afford that boat anyway, why comment about not being made in the USA. But,since you guys said it. I'll say it too. I agree with both of you.

Real estate, rentals, equipment, labor, taxes, materials, red-tape, insurance companies run amok, the same reasons a massive number of our large corporations have off-shored many of their products and services.

I hate this. For years I've wondered when the temptation to make a little more profit would lure some American builder to set up business in a third world chit-hole and undercut their American-made competition. I hope their Brazilian venture fails.
