Fed Chair Janet L. Yellen On The Economic Outlook Before the Joint Economic Committee, U.S. Congress

Washington, DC...The economy has continued to recover from the steep recession of 2008 and 2009.

We happened to see boat after new boat being built and we thought we would stop by and see if we could get a few details. It seems East Bay Municipal Utilities District needed to add some new boats to their fleet. They also needed something that would stand up to rigors of being in a rental fleet and still be ready to go and be inviting for the next party.....
