Since it is an election year, some discussion of policy seem appropriate. Trump was a vocal critic of GDP and sold his base on the idea that’s his plan would fix the purported problem.

The link below explains GDP contributors and the second is an opinion piece that offers perspective.

But despite the surge in federal government spending, causing additional federal borrowing of $1.23 trillion in 2019, growth in nominal GDP totaled only $849 billion.

Not at all, I just understand the difference between the stock market and the economy.

Do you? Really? Have you ever met the stock market? Which one? There are a number of stock markets across the globe...

I do know business, and the economy has been on fire.

It has gotten over Your head that military budget spending past over a Trillion dollars.;) Maybe Trump should have dismantled the Army&Navy and the US would have a surplus now:p National debt includes those $$$ spent.

No shit, they’re killing it. Good example of how technology and innovation can change a market. Although, those motors aren’t being clamped to entry, or even mid—level boats.

Define mid level?
A 19 with a single 250....

That's not true, there were a few with newer outboards being sold. Boat builders aren't really selling entry level stuff right now because of the good economy. People are spending more per build.

A lot of variables there but sure. That’s also not what Nordic sold on the first day of the LA Boat Show.

Custom Perfomance Boats are about the smallest segment of the boating industry. One wakeboard boat company sells more boats in a week than Nordic does all year. There are more pontoons sold in a week than the entire west coast custom boat industry sells in a year.

Around here it's offshore and inshore CC's.....Plus the crazy number of wake boats on the rivers and lakes.

Yamaha dominates the saltwater power.
