Reminds me of the 1980's - 90's and the rise of the DINKS (dual income, no kids) when DW and I were boaters. The bigger, loader, and gaudier the boat the more desirable. When the market crashed the boats were on the sales lots in numbers and to us the Chesapeake Bay returned to it's former, friendlier, family and waterman inhabitants. JMHO
