Still, it's an interesting topic.

One thing we have in the US is (relatively) lots of moorage for larger yachts - and the cost-effectiveness of our moorage favors large boats (up to maybe 65', where finding permanent and transient moorage gets more difficult). A 50' yacht in Europe is pretty special - but not here. And fiberglass is heavily slanted towards mass production once you have the tooling.

Look at our houses compared to equivalent homes in Europe. We clearly have (collectively) different values.
