Politics doesn't matter. Anyone is aware of what's happening in the world right now. And boy, do I mean changed. From a comfortable lifestyle to financial wasteland. In just a couple of short years. We now live in a country where unnecessary expenditures (aka hobbies) just might well be a thing of the past, as eating regularly moves up the priority list.
So, how does a fisherman survive? This article will scrutinize the question ad provide some answers.
I have an in-the-water boat and I can no longer afford gas and dockage . What to do ? The answer is kinda complicated but there is one .. null null move to a cheaper dock, or pull the boat out and store it on land. null If you have a boat ramp nearby there are boat movers that have in-the-water trailers that can actually back down the ramp and load your big boat just as if it was a small trailerable one. Yep, we are talking about semi-trailers that are submersible. When the boat is loaded, you can then store it on a cheaper land storage location. Not a permanent answer, but perhaps it is helpful at least 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 your boating is recreational in nature, it doesn't look real good for the near future. For those who earn their living from boats and the fishing industry, it will be tough but necessary. For the rest, down-sizing . Infrequent use . a change in hobbies . All of these things may in fact be in our near if not long term future. We will continue to monitor and report on this situation as time passes and we will all hope for the return of "a better boating day".
