Data is for 2007 and 2008. While good to know, the diesel market represents less than 30% of total powerboat sales domestically. So it's good information for that small segment. As you know, the diesel market is huge in Europe and the Far East, maybe someday here.
Thanks for the link.
Some Domestic September info:
Quote:
Fiberglass boats in the popular 14- to 30-foot market saw significant improvement in preliminary numbers for September. Unusually high registration volume from California in September helped push the national decline below 20 percent, to a dip of 16.5 percent.
Aluminum boats sales fell in the month by 25.8 percent. This drop seemed extreme compared to the lower declines posted in the fiberglass market.
The rate of decline for PWC increased compared to last month, posting a drop of 21.1 percent in September.
These statistics include 28 early reporting states that represent approximately 64 percent of the national market.
Retail sales for new boats in September appeared in scattered pockets across the country. Liquidations and aggressive pricing have made the registration feedback appear erratic in early reporting states as dealers scramble to improve liquidity before moving into the fourth quarter.
