Big Crowds at the Boat Shows!

The boating industry seems to be off to a great start in early 2017. The Vancouver International Boat Show reported strong attendance and although the numbers aren't out yet for the Toronto International Boat Show, we were on site virtually the entire time and the crowds seemed impressive. Exhibitors we spoke to said that sales were strong as well.

The NMMA Canada recreational Boating Industry Breakfast in Toronto attracted the largest crowd ever and many people approached me personally to say how impressed they were with the presentation by Tim Quinlan of Wells Fargo.

Boat shows open soon in Calgary and Halifax. Let's hope that the positive trends continue.

Overall, we seem to be off to a strong start in 2017!
