    History Channel: Pleasure Boats on Modern Marvels...

    It's on right now. Don't know if it will repeat later. Interesting trivia... the narrator stated that boating is an 85 billion dollar industry, surpassing both entertainment and sports.

    Yes, PJ's La Baronessa (and a glimpse of Mostro) was preceeded by Benetti, Feadship & Lazzara. The History Channel does a good job of covering broad subjects within the space of an hour. With an industry as diverse as boating, I thought the pleasure boating episode should have been broken into several segments. I noticed some of the footage they used was outdated, but I'm really not sure when the show was produced. Still, it was a good show and I think everyone here would have enjoyed it. :)

    I'm watching History Channel now(2PM CST) but it's a program on the Nazis. I'm sure HC will rebroadcast the boat show before Sunday.
