I wouldn't wish that sort of luck on anyone but sadly I feel it's going to happen.

I think you’re right on that one. I would also say a LOT of all types of RVs will hit the market as well. There will probably be some very good deals out there.

Same goes for private boat builders in my area as well, they are back up for atleast 6 to 8 months. Which for them is a good thing,

pontoon boats around here that would normally be 4500.00 they are asking and getting 10-12k if furniture is decent..pieces of junk are bringing 2k.
Asking 24k for 19 year old pontoon boats in average to good shape, nothing special.

If you can consistently get a 2 stroke to crank on a morning with temps in the teens, then more power to ya'. My 4 stroke fuel injected has never failed to crank immediately. My old 2 stroke- forget about it! No motor is any good if it takes forever to crank.

Was whitebass fishing the other day and a 2 stroke guy trolled by me three times ... after choking on his exhaust fumes I doubled down on my love for 4 stroke outboards 1

An ‘88 Mariner 150 that cranked without the issues you speak of. Once it was warm it started like my old Chevys did. Bump the starter and it was running.
