It's gotta be the glitter finish!!

We see that on a new glass boat and we are in awe and wonder.... The price doesn't matter....it's that nice shiny glitter in the sun that does it every time.

If memory serves me, fiberglass boats are very labor intensive, then, along with rising costs of materials, etc, they will only go higher and higher.

What I still cannot wrap my mind around to some extent is that some of these new boats are twice what I paid for my truck brand new and accessorized...

Electronics? Holy crap!! The components that go into them are nowhere near what you pay for the product and most of that will be done by computer for creation (circuit boards, programming software, etc.). I just don't see how a $2500 locator has more than $250 worth of components in it... It's like Beats headphones. $300 for a product that cost $25 to build.
