I've been (was) a yacht broker for 30 years. Unfortunately, the end of the market I specialize in has been one of the worst hit, ie cruising sailboats in the 25' to 40' range. With our income being commission based on percentage of selling price, we've had a double whammy of decreasing sales and sales price. Most all the boats in our range, and a Hunter 34 was one of our bread and butter boats, have been cut in half price wise.brokeboaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967050222135745324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-60588885019402045482010-08-26T07:25:56.269-05:002010-08-26T07:25:56.269-05:00mista c - I my case I'd have to revise the obs...mista c - I my case I'd have to revise the observation to: The happiest day is when your wife says "We need a bigger boat."<br /><br />True story.<br /><br />ckmCharles Kingsley Michaelson, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364694465614330540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-41790723888483232332010-08-26T06:46:28.325-05:002010-08-26T06:46:28.325-05:00My late father, Colonel Charley, had a couple of b...My late father, Colonel Charley, had a couple of boats in his time (sequentially, not simultaneously). From him I heard the saying, "The second happiest day in a boat owner's life is when you buy the boat. The happiest day is when you sell the boat." <br /><br />The sour sneering your comments sometimes provoke is a lightly-disguised squeal of rage from those whose contempt you should welcome and return.
