Good news seems to be in short supply these days, but thankfully a little ray of sunshine came through our email inbox today. Even amid forced shutdowns and limited access to traditional commerce, personal watercraft enthusiasts are determined to get some time on the water – and that’s nowhere as evident than with the sales report from Yamaha Motor Corp. USA.

“As we expected, May turned out to be a monster month for us,” Yamaha’s media representative Andrew Cullen wrote to The Watercraft Journal. “Monthly WaveRunners sales in May were 156-percent of the prior year, a record month for Yamaha. Over the last weekend in May alone, Fri-Sun, we moved 3500 WaveRunners.”

This, considering restricted access to launch ramps in several states, as well as mandates for travel and otherwise, is incredibly impressive. Cullen noted, the Yamaha models most in demand were a nice cross section of the entire lineup: EXR, FX SVHO, GP1800R, FX Limited SVHO and of course, the family friendly VX Cruiser. What showed most peculiar was a massive boost to the SuperJet, which was up for the month at 146% of the prior year.

Wanting to keep the enthusiasm going, and quite frankly, get those “fence sitters” to jump off and commit to the 2020 WaveRunner they’ve been eyeing, Yamaha has extended its latest promo offer starting this past June 1st, and running through June 30.
 
I dont know how it was in california but here dirtbike prices doubled and actually tripled for some bikes this spring, much more than the usual 25-50% spring bump in prices. I think between the extra time, stimulus check, and some people actually making more money on unemployment vs working, powersports interest in general has grown a noticeable amount.

In ground pool sales in Western New York have been insane! We are booked into the 1st week of November for installs for vinyl liner pools. Fiberglass pools are booked into early September. and Gunite pools into mid-August. Been doing this for 19 years, I have never seen it this crazy.

Wonder if any is 401k money that was pulled out of the market ?

A co-worker works part time in a hot tube shop doing delivers. Well right before the pandemic the owner bought another bulk of hot tubes to make a quota to get a free vacation. He was already way over stocked on tubes at the time. Well the owner was very nervous, I felt sorry for him as we were all expecting doom and gloom with sales with the lock down order. Well guess what, he sold every fricking hot tube he had, delivering 7 days a week during the lock down... I couldn’t believe it, cause the media’s narrative is we’re all gonna die
