Ask Boat

A new study by the National Marine Manufacturers Association states that despite another annual decrease in new boat sales, the boating industry is showing signs of economic recovery. Sales of all powerboats and sailboats in 2010 were down 4 percent from 2009, with sales of used boats being down 2.4 percent and sales of new boats being down 10 percent, according to the NMMA ’s annual Recreational Boating Statistical Abstract. However, that 10-percent decrease in new boat sales for 2010 is actually good news, according to NMMA, because the 2009 decrease was a much larger 35 percent over 2008
