Yepper. I just saw a news report this morning that boat sales are hitting records.

I believe it. I sold the tinny for more than I expected in less time than I expected with less effort than I expected. one of the few safe things a family can get out and do. normally by now we would have several camping trips behind us. there is still pink stuff in the campers lines...….. the boat is a great way to spend weekends with the little ones. the ramp is only a mile down the road.

Local boat dealer friend has been slammed with sales. He has a waiting list for decent used boats. A boat gets traded in one day and is sold the next. The new ones are not coming in fast enough. Good time to be a seller, not so good to be a buyer ...

ya I noticed that too, I think I did ok. between buying the Chaparral and selling my tin can. Not great but good enough. Given the circumstances right now its a good thing to have. we were out Saturday for bass opener. aside from the fish not cooperating it was a great time. boat performed as it should, kids had a blast.
