Skulduggery of the worst sort, needful reading, and just the same old same greedy bastards...
It's interesting how what's normal changes when you're not paying attention. For instance, back in the early 90's from my vantage point was that the average cruising boat actually cruising was somewhere around 30-feet and now 30-odd years later the average is somewhere around 45-feet. Of course, the change was gradual but since I was not paying attention it sure seems like it sorta/kinda happened overnight.
These days, as it happens, I am paying attention and it sure looks like the pendulum has changed direction and smaller/sensible/affordable (i.e. common sense) boats are regaining their hipness factor.
Which does not mean that the floating MacMansion will no longer be with us but they will be a waning influence...
