This issue has a theme that dips a toe into boating and RVing, two industries that share many similarities.

NMMA Certification is the premier product certification program for boats, yachts, boat trailers, personal watercraft and marine oils in the United States.

Fear of an impending exodus, especially with concerns about a looming economic recession, has leaders at the MRAA, the National Marine Manufacturers Association and the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation urging the industry to start focusing immediately on improving customer service as the primary way to retain these boaters.

The Discover Boating team, powered by the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas and the National Marine Manufacturers Association, is looking ahead to continued industry momentum this year.
