Can't speak to the anglers but the economy has literally destroyed the yacht companies here in South Jersey. To my knowledge only one of the companies is still building yachts in my region of the state. ...and that one has a very large inventory of yachts they can not sell.
Last year my brother ran a line at one of the companies with a crew of 40 men. None of them are presently working there now. They are hoping for an uptake in about six months.

The same happened back in the mid-late 80’s when the administration levied a tax on all yachts over $100,000. The inductry suffered and Con-gress was forced to look for other ways to overtax those who owned those vessels.

We are on the coast, and one of the spookiest things I just saw?
The first line of boats for sale at a dealer I drive by every day has "bank repo" signs- on all of them.
