As we move into the topic of operator safety It is a good thing to remember that the passenger boat industry is one of the most regulated industries in the US
We in the industry answer to the feds, state, county as well insurance company requirements. Than the consumer has a chance to vote with their wallets. Most of us have a 100 - 150 day season to make the overhead - and hope fully eek out a living - I dont know any one thats ever gotten rich from running a boat.....its a lifestyle....
Think I could have an objective view of your industry spending an hour or two at your factory or office? ... Lots of bankers to deal with before we get to tour operators on my list - grin
Bear in mind this is some ones lively hood you are commenting on..... An understanding of the applicable CFR's would be a good place to start
