Outboard shortage

All this gives me more justification for multiple boats in the personal fleet.

These shortages will make my wife see the light, right?

To what Gravy Boat wrote, sales new & used this year way past last years records.

What may be the bigger issue in the short term is not the Rona but the the Evergreen blocking the canal with 18,000 containers. It was cleaned up quickly but everything is out of wack now with sailing dates, unloads, customs, and shipping from bonded warehouses etc etc.
It will be a while before all is normal? My limited experience w/ this is following my stuff out of China or Korea w/ paper work and following on A.I.S.

My wife is in the business, it's a disaster. All the ships are out of wack and the backlogs are huge. The Long Beach fiasco in CA really started it all with the canal getting blocked being the icing on the cake. It's gonna be a while
