Some dealers aren't even taking orders at all. I was thinking of selling my 19' with 115 Mercury Pro XS and moving into a 20' Xpress bass boat with 200 horse Merc or Yamaha Sho. I could sell my boat and make some good money on it. Guys were lined up to buy and nobody quibbled about the asking price. But I couldn't get another boat any time remotely soon.


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
