    Academy Sports boats

    I’m in the market for a 14-16ft Jon boat. I use to see stacks of them at Academy Sports and local dealers. Now it’s empty lots and most dealers say December at the earliest if i order one. Is there something I’m missing or is this Covid related?

    Covid related between factories shutting down and so many people home from work with little else to do.

    yes I have. I just sold my 2 man boat bc I’d like to be able To take the wife and daughter out to some local lakes. They don’t always like to go out in our bass boat. We have a lot of trolling motor only lakes within a 20 minute drive of our house.
