Why are consumers buying up boats?

Might seem odd — that along with “runs” on toilet paper, bacon and paper towels, small boats and mid-size yachts are in short supply these days. Another shortage you can blame COVID 19?  Why you ask? Well, seems it’s a neat easy way to social distance — with family vacation plans canceled, kids summer camps closed — what’s left for the family to do together? Buy a boat and roam the oceans or nearby lakes. It’s easy to learn how to pilot or sail a boat — and sail off around a lake or pilot your yacht in the open oceans — AHOY!!!
