I just look at the local hang-outs on the water and there is about HALF the boats this year compared to years past, it's not going to get any better either.

Fuel prices extra high insurance or no insurance and outragous prices for new boats....easy to figure out. Does Brunswick do anything with the marine insurance industry to help loby the prices?
