Inflation check: Gas, cars, truck prices rising

Used market for outboards has never been that big. People tend to buy new or rebuild the old ones, but to buy a used one from someone else is a big risk knowing there is probably a good reason why the seller is trying to get rid of them.

So the inflation is behaving as expected. It was expected to increase after the economic collapse last year, and then revert to normal levels.

 

nah, not inflation of every day items. That won't change til Democrat control ends. As for used market I should have been clear and stated used boat market. Re-powers do tend to be new but with used boat inventory increasing, things will loosen

what will be interesting is to see what happens with the folks who are upside down and way over-paid for boats and RVs and the market deems them to be worth less than what is owed.

We already see decreased boat traffic and less idiots on plane through no wake zones

 

It is already changing. Its pretty naive to think everything is about which party is in control, when history proved beyond any shadow of doubt that both parties run same policies and 2020 is a prime example where GOP leadership demanded astronomical amounts of money to handed out. Debt swelled by 8 trillion (fasted ever) in the last 4 years.

There you go again trying to have it both ways. Demand for used boats is at all time high. Why? Lack of supply.

Lumber prices. Supply-Demand driven, just like everything else.

 

watch the current trends now of used boats across the land. The same with RV's.

As for inflation, yup, Democrat votes own that

 

I do. Massive demand, lack of supply.

Boat sales took off during the pandemic and now dealers can’t keep up with demand
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/19/boa...andemic-dealers-cant-keep-up-with-demand.html

• Boat sales skyrocketed last year during the pandemic, and the trend shows no signs of slowing in 2021.
• Now, dealerships are struggling to maintain inventory and manufacturers are expanding production capacity to meet demand.
• First-time buyers are entering the market in larger numbers, a sign that the growth has staying power.

Feel free to believe anything you want. If you think those Democrat votes fixed the lumber prices, then you probably believe they'll fix other products too.

 

march of 21

thanks for that. It's now the end of boating season in much of the country and feel free to track the listings and price reductions

when in a hole, stop digging

inflation= Democrat votes have consequences............never good

 

Ok, so the end of boating season is also Democrats fault. Oh my......

Bottom line: The demand in 2021 has been, and still is, exceptionally high. Must be those Democrat votes. Lets fact it, - the economy is doing well, and you scream like someone threw acid in your face.

Lost cause.......

Have a nice day.

 

It is the economy roaring back! That is what happens. But it will pass.

My company just had its most profitable quarter EVER. We are rolling in money. And our industry is a strong predictor of the future economy,

Boeing just posted its first profit in years.

 

as long as we remain open the economy will get better but let's see what happens with folks who took the taxpayer dollars and time off. It's time for them to get back to work

 

So you admit that your fear mongering is nonsense. Good for you!

This is what you get when you elect Democrats.

Given that you are far more likely to die from Covid in republican states than in Democrat States, it is really a matter of life and death now.

 

huh?

Hamper domestic energy, artificially drive up wages and prices and you have inflation

it seems that you are proud of your Democrat vote and how it has hurt the common folk.

 

"The Wall Street Journal reported last week that skyrocketing inflation “is eroding household-spending power,” and that “for the lowest-paid Americans,” wages fell half of a percent compared to last year."

"The pandemic Biden promised to shut down is much worse than it was a year ago. Real wages are falling due to “trillions of dollars in federal aid” that has “coursed through the economy” as “COVID relief” passed by Biden and congressional Democrats earlier this year."

https://thefederalist.com/2021/09/24/biden-isnt-facing-challenges-biden-is-the-challenge/

And what do Democrats propose? Another 5 TRILLION that will drive down real wages even more and big taxcut for the rich by removing the SALT cap! A lot of help they are!

Vote for change!

 

So you call out a poster for "fear mongering" - for speaking the truth about inflation - then warp into some demonization of the other rant - talking about Covid - no mention of inflation .. and fear mongering.

Covid is not that bad mate .. little worsethan an average flue in most places.

 

Voting Dem had nothing to do with current inflation .. sans their stupid energy policy but that is a small part of a much bigger inflation picture.

 

​

Goes to show what a high percentage of "insert word for uneducated" we have in this nation.

 

Rather simplistic and lacking an understanding of the bigger. Picture

 

Yup .. some folks saying covid is responsible.and this makes sense - car plants can't get chips - supply chain issues. The hope is that it will go away and prices will come back down once covid is over .. my spidey sences tell me that inflation is here to stay .. at some point massive money printing has to hit .. the invisible hand hitting back .. after taking much abuse - especially since the 2008 crash.

Are tariffs the only issue:

YOUR biggest *LOSER* was the one RESPONSIBLE for the INCREASE in INFLATION.

FACTS matter!

 

Biden is the one who created

That is not true, Biden is the one who is responsible for staffing shortage.
It is ultimate stupidity to hand out the money (increase demand) during the supply chain bottlenecks.
Inability to find workers is major driver of current inflation.

 

You mean like this?

 

Well, yes, but Biden should have stopped in 2021.
It was totally appropriate during shutdown, but definitely not after economy started to recover.

 

Practically no one is still getting them.

 

The FACTS prove that YOUR biggest *LOSER* is the PRIME CAUSE of the current INFLATION.

Facts matter!
