Wow..whats up with Fountain
I see that there are now 231 beakers for sale, that has to be a new record for this site.
Earlier this year there were 160. Baja and Cig have stayed abount the same in the low 100's.
Everyone selling out to buy a new 35 or what?
I guess I was just shocked that they had jumped so much in listings, maybe people trying to unload before winter?

It's that marketing genius. Get 'em all horny about every model years significant improvements to keep 'em buying new boats. Drives used values down, but used boat sales isn't what keeps the doors at the factory open.
It's alot like the snowmobile market. Buy a new sled for a reasonable discount ride it a year or two...by then it's antique tech because of advancements, then try to unload it against alot of competition.

Everyone finaly figured out Reggie is all hype and now they're unloading those barges for real go fast boats.
On a serios note I noticed all manufactures used inventory seemed to jump up. My hope is that this is a sign of a strong economy and everyone is moving up.

YOu know thats interesing because the market has come back from a 5 year dip, unemployment is 4.4% which is the best in 5 years. I don't think, with the exception of energy, the economy is that bad. Of course with rates at the current level, as a borrower you can't buy what you could 5 years ago.
I work making business loans and businesses are making good profits and defaults are very low. Wage pressure is on the way up.
