Boat sales picking up speed in Nevada
By Bailey Schulz, Las Vegas Review-Journal
After struggling during the Great Recession, boat sales are surging again in the U.S. and Nevada.
Recently released data from the National Marine Manufacturers Association and its 2016 recreational boating statistical abstract said the $36 billion U.S. boating industry is at a post-recession high.
“The industry has been growing 6 percent each year for the past four, five years,” said Thomas Dammrich, association president. “We’re not completely back to where we were before the recession, but we’re the highest we’ve been at since.”
