Marin, All good points. However, my fear is that the government will single us "rich yacht owners" out because we are an easy target. It happened with the luxury tax - that damn near killed the boat building industry - and the holding tank issue. Its easier to single out a group who has no significant unified voice. Besides, its easier to get public support against the perceived rich folks than against industry. After all, a rich yachtsman is easy to hate. Regards, Randy Pickelmann MORNING STAR
