I think cost is the big thing. just to redo their old boat is like a million bucks. to redo with new tech would be massive costs -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 08:34 5
- I get that. But I don’t see why a new boat with a new system never shows up. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 10, 08:36 4
  - Because of the commercial crabbing licenses costing a million bucks or more. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 08:37 3
    - (And they are carefully governed, may not even be available for a new boat without having first bought a retiring boat's license) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 08:38 2
      - Sounds like NYC taxicab medallions. Only perhaps more important to avoid over-fishing. -- nm - Meg Aug 10, 08:56
      - That makes sense. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 10, 08:44
