    One of our members dropped me a note asking if we could pose this question without it turning political. What effects do you think the tariffs will have on the marine industry, i.e., boat prices, electronics, equipment, etc.

    I just received an email from Albury saying the price increase on Yamaha engines would be in the $5,000/$7,500 range (not sure what HP) and that they have a supply in the US of pre tariff motors.

    Wow…:eek:
    Mercury is still made in the US?
    They have some smaller models made by Tohatsu in Japan, or did a few years, the tariffs may force production of the small ones to the US(?)

    As far as big boats made in Holland and Germany, if flagged in the Cayman Islands, it won’t make a difference to new owners then. Or….?
