It's going to be hard to sell boats though isn't it. In fact it already is so far as I can see. First the used market dries up as a result of all the new builders offering discount prices, then those builders will be going out of business. I suspect Mrs B and I will throw more good money after previous good money on UM and get to crawl around an increasingly gloom laden and delapidated system for a few more years. You never know we might get so miserable we start to enjoy it. At least we'll be able to spend our time spotting the odd licenced boat. The whole waterway based economy is clearly headed up a gum tree. Beeky nb Portent of Doom
