And there you have it. The 78 y.o. waterfront resident having tea on Sunday afterenoon can't hear what Cousin Hilda just said so with a certain amount of disdain they complain to the authorities who see a new opportunity to pull us over so they're for it, then a lawyer checks it out and realizes that most of us live above the poverty level so he gets interested, "I'm just standing up for the rights of my clients" yeah right, then the powerboat shops see the $$$ it takes for conversion work so they get interested, then the new boat manufacturers see the 30% mark up on anything they add to a boat so they get interested...etc etc
