Shawn said... Oh yeah. I know a retailer who probably sells 40 or 50 boats per year, and maybe sells 2-3 paddlefloats per year. Maybe one set of float bags, 4 or 5 pumps, 10 whistles. I hear and understand your point, but I think the example is a bit misleading. How many P'Wisers own more than one boat and transfer floats, pumps etc between them depending on which boat they will be paddling that day? I'm in the market for a new boat, but will continue to use my current pump and float. I don't think you can make a correlation between boat and accessory sales. Nonetheless, your point was that not enough people are buying the necessary equipment, and with that I agree 100%. I met someone who has been paddling a small rec boat for about 3 years, and didn't even know what a paddle float was or why in the world you would ever need to pump a boat out!!!!! Scary stuff.
