Interestingly enough, the boat building industry is also seeing a very large cost increase in Asian built boats by the time they hit US shores. A lot of boats are built at yards in China, and labor/shipping costs are the reason they don't price attractively like they did 2 years ago. A Bob Perry project has been re-priced at least 3 times in the last year over this exact thing.
