miami , fort lauderdale and palm beach boats shows attendance has been way down last couple years as well as boat sales, your upper end fishing boats like seavee and conch are doing ok but the middle and lower end stuff sales are tough.

Anyone check the prices of a new boat lately?π³π³π³ If I were to replace my 22β Pathfinder the way it is with a new one I would be shelling out close to $120K. I paid $51 in 2013. It came with a T-top with a second station too.

The economy is roaring.....
I went to Bass Pro a few months ago. A 24ft tritoon was $106k

I think I will buy an old caddy and some cane poles and fish the canals.

Well I guess there is at least a silver lining to a bad economy. Less newbies cloggin up the reefline struggling to catch 12" snapper with a radar dish and three outboards.

125k for a bass boat and another 75k for truck to pull it. That would buy a really nice airplane

What pound test line to fish out of a airplane works best?

What pound test line to fish out of a airplane works best? Probably depends on what you are fishing for..... Brand new searay with turbocharged Rotax is about $160K No truck...no trailer...no launch ramp...probably hit 4 lakes by lunch.

Mercury's problems may stem from Suzuki becoming a major factor in outboard motor sales. We went through a few periods of outboard shortages from Japan and I'm sure Mercury benefited from helping to fill the gap. Once Yamaha got back up to speed it became a real horse race.

Mercury's problem stems from a tapped out American consumer. RVs are in the same boat. The writing is on the wall.
