Outboard shortage

Was expected. We were told this would happen.

No humans working worldwide and the supply chains are disrupted for months. And as we all were warned it would cause shortages in multiple areas....electronics, PCBs, plastics, metal fab, etc.

THANKFULLY now we have plenty of masks for boating season....and hand sanitizer, toilet paper and rubbing alcohol! But you may not have a boat. Or an engine that works. Or that $1.39 part made in only China that just left port yesterday and will be here in a month or so.

Take good care of and baby your boats and engines this season -- because this won't be changing during our short NH boating season. I hope I'm wrong.
