Net Sales
Net sales for the first quarter were $17.6 million, compared to sales of $18 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

that really isn't too shabby all things considered.
I'm sure there are a ton of boat companies out there that would do just about anything for a profit during times like this.

I'll wait to see them do it back to back before I give any kudos out. I've seen my company push some profitable jobs through to get off the books in one quarter while holding a dog of a job back so it doesn't show on the report. It's the money guys way of buying another three months for a miracle to happen.
