Location: Oshkosh, Wisconsin | I can't find Bombardier on the NYSE listings... is that a public company? If not, that would probably explain why we hear about Brunswick on issues like this and not BRP. |

| BRP is privately held.
I stand corrected, they traded on the Montreal and Toronto Stock exchange.
and Rich is correct, they are tied to more than just the marine industry.

Location: Berlin | The other reason is the other two are more diverse and don't have as many eggs in this basket. |

| Last year was the worst marine sales year volume wise since 1967. What makes it even worse is the fact that there are about an additional 100 million folks in the US now compared to 1967.
We had Thom Dammrich, the President of the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), on our radio show and he said projections for 2008 are even worse than 2007.

| BRP is Bombardier Recreational Products, and you know the Quebec company's other stuff: Sea-doo watercraft, Ski-doo snowmobiles, Johnson and Evinrude boat motors, a line of ATVs and the Rotax engines used in products ranging from small aircraft to the BMW F800S motorcycle. Since 2003, BRP has technically been a separate subsidiary of its parent company Bombardier, which makes Learjets and trains, among other things.

| I think all the manufacturers are feeling the pain in this economy. It might be a little easier for BRP and Yammi...since they are more diversified. But his latest economic storm may sink more than one company...I hope not...but I think it's going to be a while before we get out of this slump.
