Yeah, that, too. 50 percent increase in price in the last 10 years. And the price of a Laser has increased at least as much and probably more, percentagewise.

In those two cases it can't be due to improved technology and higher building costs. So do the prices of the boats go up due to decreased demand; or is the demand decreasing because the prices of boats have gone up?

I guess that is an age-old economics question, and I sure don't know enough to answer it.

And Hobie Waves are a best-seller for Hobie Cat, and yet their price also has increased by at least 50 percent since they were introduced. I just don't understand any of this economics and marketing stuff.
