Boating has taken a big hit this summer. It started with horrible weather and flooding earlier in the summer, and now the economy and gas prices have also taken their toll. Boat sales across the U.S. are at 40 year lows, as a tighter credit market has kept many buyers away. Many tourist related businesses have also reported up to a 20% decline in sales.
