New great idea.... How about a ‘luxury’ tax???? Great idea, proven to stop boating.”

When was the luxury tax on yachts and boats over a certain size?

It ground the entire industry to a complete halt.

Not exactly. It destroyed the US yacht building industry, and put hundreds, if not thousands, of skilled Americans out of work.

It really boosted foreign boat builders though...
