"...MarineMax [publicly-traded boat sales company] seems to be shaking off the worst of it. The $1.2 billion corporation has more than 2,200 employees at 88 retail locations selling everything from $20,000 starter boats to multi million dollar yachts..." www.discoverboating.com
A "starter-boat" at $20,000?

I'm seeing NH-registered large boats with a "B?" suffix following the registration number—mostly. (Example: NH 1234 BK). It follows that the higher the letter, the newer the boat. (My boats all have registrations in the "A"s, and have never owned a "B" boat).

New boats are purchased on credit, right? Wouldn't a credit card with adjustable rate mortgages (ARM), or an equity loan adjustable rate mortgages (ARM), tend to "rate-creep"?

Could ARMs—and gas prices—both be leveraging against vacations?

(We won't mention all those Massachusetts houses with ARMs).
