[cool][#0000ff]You are right about the economy, but I doubt that enters into the thinking (lousy) of those in charge of the launch facilities on Pineview. They have always been pretty casual about whether or not their policies and prices are fair to users. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]It will be interesting to see what their annual revenues are this year...not only because of the tighter money situation but because Willard Bay is now full again and will reclaim a lot of the power squadron lost to Pineview the last two years.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The other factor is that the yuppies with the big wakeboard boats and other fancy craft are usually not much affected by the economy. It just means that daddy has to pay bigger credit card bills each month for their toys and gas.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Don't look for any drastic drop in the launch fees at Pineview.[/#0000ff]
