Lifted by Florida and Texas, the nation’s top two states for sales, the recreational boating industry achieved moderate growth in November that raised the year’s percentage sales gains to levels more in line with forecasts.
The NMMA is touting the marine industry’s 2016 gains, emphasizing that it is one of the “few American-made industries.”
Recreational boat sales posted their second consecutive month of weak growth in October, leaving the industry farther from the full-year gains forecasters were hoping for when 2016 began.
The industry recorded the highest sales for that quarter since 2008, just before the Great Recession.
U.S. brokerage sales declined in October for the second month in a row, falling 9 percent as 2,029 boats were sold.
The recreational marine industry followed double-digit August sales gains with a slow-growth September.
Traffic to Boat Trader’s website peaked during the summer in July at 3.37 million unique visitors.
The NMMA said it is making the 2016 ITR Economics Forecast for Boat Building Production Q3 free for NMMA members to download.
The recreational marine industry’s 2016 story remains a page turner and it’s getting better.
