The kind of folks who could buy a boat there aren’t too
concerned with things like that. By charging high admission
they actually go two for one; pick up some extra $$$ and
keep the plebs and bums out.

When I was selling software to banks, I took some VPs from CiTiBank to that show. One of them owned a 34' HInkley!

No normal people at that show.

No boat, back in the suds.

Base price for the 29R (R stands for runabout) is $383,000; the Picnic Boat is now $835,000. The new T34 (T stands for Talaria, the winged sandals worn by the Greek god Hermes) comes in at $535,000. “It's priced to bring new people in,” McManus said. “More people can afford it.”

the only real decision is cash or finance, that being said, I am hearing the buying stopped in Spring due to the recession and all
