Best Time to Buy a New Boat
I see two things to be concerned about right now; the immediate future and the future, a few months from now. Given the remarkable and frenetic pace of global economic changes being driven by the new Trump Tariffs, the immediate future is almost impossible to predict day-to-day, but if we can step back and get a little perspective, we might just see some opportunity in the slightly longer term.
The 24th of May long weekend is still five weeks away and I feel like people are already starting to adjust a bit to the Go-Stop Tariff regime. Certainly, there will be people who are seriously affected but I suspect that a good many people will be able to absorb the initial shock and even see past it to get on with their own plans. Seen in the right perspective, this might even be the best time to buy a new boat.
