The sporting goods industry including hunting and fishing supplies are going to be slowed down a lot. The first thing that needs to happen is the economy needs to pick up and the employment level needs to get back to a normal rate. Prices for new boats will not change all that much. Right now not many people are going to have the money to buy a new boat much less a used one. The sporting goods industry will be taking a big hit and I think it will be two to three years before it gets back to a normal rate. Just my two cents.  Side Note: Major sporting goods stores have laid off a lot of employees with no hopes of rehiring any of them back soon! It all depends on how fast the economy makes it's come back!  Have you tried to buy dumbells and weights, many places are sold out. I also see an increase in home gyms and work out equipment being hot now, both new and used

I suppose there could be a market flooded for several reasons: we all go broke, we all die from Covid or we all are lockdowned for the next 2 years. I hope none of the above happen! I miss the stupid simple things that we used to be able to do.

Didn't help me buying my new wave runner yesterday. Still having trouble sitting. Should’ve waited luxury items always come down just like 2008. Probably would have been smart....but also sold my boat. Didn't want to wait until next season to get something.

This maybe the perfect storm to decimate brick and mortar stores. Especially small retail . Doubt it will go right back like it was anytime soon . J D
