Politics doesn't matter. Anyone with any understanding of the world and country we live in can tell you that things have changed. And boy, do I mean changed. We have gone from living a relatively comfortable lifestyle complete with boating and fishing to a financial wasteland. In just a couple of short years. Most people don't have time now for hobbies because eating regularly is the priority.
So, how does a fisherman survive? The purpose of this article is to investigate that question and attempt to offer a few answers.
null What will I do? null null Now for the dockage situation.. move to a cheaper dock, or pull the boat out and store it on land. null null Yep, we are talking about semi-trailers that are submersible. Now with the boat loaded up, you can move your boat to a cheaper on land storage location. It's just temporary but at least helpful until the next election.
I have to sell .. I cannot afford to keep my boat any longer. This is a bit tougher, but there are answers. There are always people available that will "steal" your boat for a price that might be quick but painful to swallow. And there is still some success out there for the heavily advertised boat being offered for sale. You can always donate your boat as a tax deduction to some worthwhile charity, or simply give it to a friend. The choices are not real attractive right now as we all know, but the more popular the brand name and the better the condition it is in will always help in moving it.
What would be the future of boaters/fishermen? It is indeed rather unsure to simply state the obvious. The 2012 election will probably have a great deal of impact on all areas of our e economy and boating/fishing will be in the mix. If boating is just a hobby for you, then it will not be real good in the future. It would be tough for those who earns their living from boats and fishing. For the rest of us.. down-sizing . Infrequent use . a change in hobbies . null We'll just monitor the situation and hope that "the better boatingday" will return.
