I don't know about that Rhody. Numbers sold over the last 40 years don't mean much.

By that same reasoning you could say that the VW beatle is the most popular car in the world today and still a benchmark to all new modern cars coming out. We all know what to think of that statement.

Over here in my area the Splash is a more popular youth boat and is looks the part.

Go take a look here :

3500 Euro will get you a boat to 5000 or more for a laser 1.

You guys are just so much living in the past. Read the writing on the wall. It will take a while before these new classes rack of the same numbers sold as the old classes but that doesn't say that they won't replace the older classes long before they do.
