number of boats for sale...

Very good point, and I considered that as I was compiling that data. I think the earlier years numbers may be affected by membership growth. In the last 3 or 4 I would say the numbers of brokers using yachtworld have been more static. Some have gone and others have come aboard.

One also has to remember that in general, 10 percent of the brokers are doing 90 percent of the business. A tough market may likely generate some attrition in the boat sales biz.

I think you are right on increasing attrition for brokers.
