    >One noted exception is probably in Grand Banks, there seems to be more
    of them on the market than before. Maybe this is in direct correlation
    to the number of people who have learned that all that pretty teak on
    the exterior only stays pretty with tons of work.

    Newer Grand Banks seem to have very little external teak other than the
    handrails, caprail, and transom. I've noticed that the majority of new
    or newer boats that appear in our marina these days tend to be faster
    boats- Albins, Bayliners/Meridians, and whatnot. So I wonder if that's
    a greater factor in people trading in Grand Banks than the wood.
    Everyone's in a hurry these days, and people who can afford newer models
    of this type of boat probably aren't too concerned about fuel
    economy.....
