I took the time to look up how much boats have gone up due to the hyper inflation we are experiencing…according to NMMA data, the average cost of an outboard equipped boat has gone up a whopping 44% in the past four years….

Thanks for the research. It is hard to comparer outboards this year with outboards from 4 years ago. So many boats this year had three or even four motors at 300 hp or 350 hp. I don't think that was the case a few years ago. Obviously, I didn't do an inventory, but the number of boats with multiple BIG hp outboards was dominant. Not so many kayaks, dinghys, sailboats this year. Outboard power was big.
