Shows Reflect Positive Momentum
This past week has been busy as members of our team travelled to Tampa, Florida for the IBEX show and to Annapolis, Maryland for the US Sailboat show. The United States market is doing very well and Thomas Dammrich of the NMMA reported that some segments were now showing a 10% new boat sales increase in the United States. New models are rolling out rapidly as boater tastes and demographics change. Dammrich also said that pontoon boats and outboard boats are back to their pre-recession levels and although we have a long way to go in unit volumes to get back to 2007, the dollar volumes are probably there now. Stay tuned to Boating Industry Canada for a detailed report in the December issue coming soon!
