It appears to be simple...

A lack of buyers.

Our economy is us. When we as people do and buy things the economy expands.

When we as people think the economy is in trouble, we dont spend our money and the economy shrinks (and gets into trouble).

We create our own "bad times" and our own "good times" through our spending habbits as a populice.

Boats haven't changed in the last 5 years. Same boat, less people willing to spend money = lower boat prices.

I saw this in an advertisement for Charles Nelville, but its worth repeating...

The economy will improve when we all choose to participate in it.
