Well, they aren't boats, they're yachts. Multi million dollar yachts that are custom made. If they're busy, they're making money, they aren't building them at a loss.

Oh, you'd be surprised, a lot of the time they are. I get all my yacht news from random channels on YouTube, so my statistics can be skewed, but the story of "some yacht bulder fucked up and they had to recall 3 ships, so obviously they're out of business now, so you can buy some shit for cheap at a bankruptcy auction" is a not even news at this point, it happens multiple times a year. They operate on such thin of a margin, every problem they encounter could be deadly. The cost of building a boat is astronomical.
