It’s easy to see how an individual would take a hit on selling a used boat, and I know for fact that’s happening now.
I think he's saying that the manufacturer authorized the reduction and is the one taking the hit. They need the money right now to get through this. It may not be about starting or finishing the next boat. It might just be looking to get anything possible to pay the overhead and stay afloat.
