Abstract:
After the completion of several surveys on ocean subdivision projects, reviewers were astonished at the speed of development and consequent sale of residential property to individual owners. By and large, the subdivisions now mark the end of an era, within 25 years there will be little to no land to develop for subdivisions. Already, the most desirable ocean front properties are selling for $50 to $100 per foot, and even the less desirable beach property has doubled and tripled in price in the last six years.

Abstract:
The phenomenal boat boom in North Carolina can be attributed to the nationwide surge in boating enthusiasm, along with a growing recognition that the state is rich in pleasure-boat waters. In addition, boat sales have now incorporated the American institution of installment buying, resulting in increased boat buying in the state. It is estimated that one family in six owns some kind of watercraft, from skiff to cruiser, and boat ownership has spread to all classes.

Abstract:
Within the past twelve months, the Morehead City Shipbuilding Corporation has developed to the point where it is now building, selling, and delivering more fishing trawlers than any other coastal industry in the entire United States. The shipbuilder's delivery schedule calls for 125 trawlers a year -- which is more boats a year than are being built by the company's chief competitor. There are two standard trawlers; the Hatteras Trawler most often used for shrimping, and the Downeaster with a deckhouse in the back.
