Or... The supply chain for the Yamaha Drive2 was still lagging...

When I first settled on my home in TV (in February 2021), the stores were full of Yamahas.

6 months later, when I was looking to buy a cart, there were barely any available...

We wound up buying a really clean used cart (which probably was for the best, since we're still part timers)... Why spend all that $$$ on a new cart just to have it sit...

When we make the big move (hopefully around this time next year), we'll consider replacing the cart with a newer one. We'll try the new electrics vs the new Yamahas and make our decision...

But right now, I'm leaning towards a 2019 or newer Quietech...
