However it is a perfect example of using "SPIN". Trying and put words in my mouth that I never said, never intended, and do not believe to be factual.

I actually try and think through my posts before I hit the submit button. If I wanted to make reference to the economy, I would have done so. I never put words in my opponents mouth. I wish others would show me the same courtesy.

"I have no idea what the numbers are, yet clearly there are a number of boaters that have left Winni because of the speed limits."

Dave R-
"You really think the speed limit has affected boater numbers more than the economy? That seems really unlikely to me, especially considering the small percentage of boats that are performance boats."
