I agree, I don't know where a steady stream of bigger boaters would come from either. Oh sure, runabouts on a trailer will always be around, or bigger boats for the guys who sold a company, or even some of the Boomers who are now inheriting their parents' assets - but to me those financial situations are a pretty small fraction of the population in general.
But then on the other hand we just finished a weeklong charter in the San Juans. The number of million dollar boats in Roche Harbor was amazing. So maybe piles of disposible dollars are still out there and I just don't understand the sources.
