Costs Are Sinking The Boating Industry
April 2, 2008
Ill economic winds batter boat industry | www.chron.com
High Fuel cost are keeping many boats tied to their slips or not being launched at all. Coupled with higher cost for storage, towing, moorage at destinations, and lower free income, the 2008 boating season will be very flat. New boat sales are at the lowest point in years and even used boats are flooding the market. Here in the North East we are seeing high numbers of people leaving boating for good. At my marina - one of the largest in Ct. - we are seeing a 20-25% vacancy rate. That is the worst in 20 years.
