Now lets say you made 10 boats, 25K for each boat goes just to cover fixed overhead. So in your 100K boat model, that means the price just hit 125K for nothing simply because the overhead is what it is. Go back to the 500K fantasy profit, since you have to still pay your bills at home, you need to add another 50K per boat (X10) just so you can make the same money you did in 2007! So that 100K boat is 175K now plus all the cost increases from parts manufacturers.

How many of those companies that built 100K boats are still around?
