Default Market sturation?

A small business owner has different rewards than an employee. The buyer of a buisness has to deal with employees and a different set of compensation. When buying, an early consideration has to be "How can we increase revenues to pay off a new mortgage or investors?". Raise storage fees and sell more boats. I see an approaching level of market saturation here. Expanding the physical plant to store more boats may not be possible, and if you can't store them, it is more difficult to sell them. Post WW II many island residents did not own a power boat--they relied on a taxi service. Perhaps we will go back to that model as mainland access becomes more expensive and harder to obtain?
