Boat and RV dealers in Mid-Michigan report that families are still moving forward with summer travel plans for Memorial Day weekend despite higher prices. Cool weather and gas prices delayed the start of the boating season by about two weeks, but dealers are maintaining January show prices and offering water-ready boats. RV owners, tired of a long winter, are prioritizing trips and disregarding added fuel costs.
