Why the powerboat industry is sinking.
Scary article for the powerboat industry.
Brunswick's stock, which fell 14 percent last week, is off more than 40 percent since last summer. And the company has taken the rest of the industry down in its wake.

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?
