Yeah...I hit the read button hard to look this one and ya got me...

on that note though, Those of you who recall the federal luxury tax of a few decades ago, may also remember how many yacht builders went out of business. I often wonder how much the govt. actually collected against how much it lost in the income taxes no longer available from out of work shipwights.

Folks,
I really didn't mean to start a political discussion about taxes. We all have our feelings about them. I know this forum should be apolitical.

I just meant to pull an April fools joke.

Sorry

my mistake Frank,

The humor was right on point. I guess April fools brings out the other dread deadline.

I won't mention the T word again.
