Re: Boat builders shut down plants
I didn't see mention of Bayliner in Washington so maybe they didn't get hit has hard as others. Could be the big boat buyers are downsizing and the lower end boats will absorb some of it. We saw big boat owners downsizing to trailerables (that they could tow out of storm paths) after the hurricanes wiped out Florida a few yrs ago. It kept the small boat maket going while bigger boats weren't selling.
On a side note...yesterday afternoon I was browsing in a gun shop. The shop owner said they had an unusually high increase in gun sales for the last month or so. He said people are getting paranoid about the downturning economy causing major crime now.
