Wayne, where are you getting your sales figures from for F18?

I know for a fact that there is a waiting list for the Phantom, and from my direct contact with other manufacturers and builders the level of sales at this stage in the year is up from 2011 which was also up from 2010 and so on.

Also, the greatest GAIN (not pain as you claim) in the dealer network is supply of spares, the margins are excellent for spares and many dealers make more money on a boat after it is sold than they do on the initial sale.
