As a long time reader of Professional Boatbuilder magazine, I have to fully concur
with Charles regarding the interesting content of the magazine and the parallels
between the professions. The industries are similar in size. There are approximately
2,000 custom boat shops and 80% of those have less than 20 employees. Sounds much
like O&P, except boat building has higher degree of regulation.
