Message From The Editor
I guess it's OK that new boats are getting more expensive
I have been very impressed with the amazing advances in outboard motors more than any other thing. The Mercury V12 and V 10s are simply stunning in their power and performance. Electronics is leaping ahead as well and we can now get 4K resolution on our MFD. Looking at the sort of boats that companies in the industry are now promoting most aggressively, I feel like a quarter of a million for 26-feet is the new standard for family boats. As your humble scribe, I realize that what would be totally out of reach for me, may be quite realistic for dual executive income household.
But there's been even more money coming from investment.
