(SNIP) I suspect that along with malicious prosecutors we also get malicious and frivolous plaintiffs. In any case it still takes time and money to respond - well, at least my lawyer tells me it does. Hopefully Peter Treby will offer to handle all my legal work pro bono. :) > Everyone hates the courts except when they have a wrong they want > righted.

Sometimes they do. I suspect they make even more mistakes when they have to rule on things they know very little about. >(SNIP) There's > always one on the used boat market - sometimes there's so many it makes you > wonder why. Could it be a poor hull design? Maybe a lot of things. Got tired of paddling, moved to the desert, moved up to a newer boat, wife left him, husband left her, some one stole the roof racks, twins, etc.etc. etc. > (SNIP) Could it be that once the plugs are made they just keep > cranking out the product even though it's not a very good design. Possibly, but from my experience I suspect they just like to grab more market share. It actually costs money to keep a poor selling boat on the market. The builders I know dump them quickly and get on with something they think will sell better. poor designs (for whatever reason) don't usually last long on the marketplace (OK, some do but not a lot). >If I was in the market for a new boat I'd look at companies that > had been around a long time and only have a few boats in the line up. I wouldn't. I would look or the best boat for my needs at the best price regardless of the company's age, race, religion, or political opinions. ;) Cheers John Winters *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
