New Powerboat Registrations Up 5 Percent in 2017
NMMA’s New Powerboat Registrations Report has been updated through December 2017, and preliminary data shows new powerboat registrations were up 5 percent in 2017, compared to 2016.
Highlights from the report include:
- Growth in registrations was led by the following segments: cruisers (up 10 percent), pontoons (up 7 percent), tow boats (up 7 percent) and personal watercraft (up 5 percent).
- The only segment down at the end of 2017 was runabouts, largely driven by a decrease in sales of sterndrive-propelled units.
