October PWC sales show year-over-year growth

PWC sales continued their strong growth in October, with sales up about 15 percent according to the latest Info-Link Bellwether report.

The report tracks boat sales across the country based on new U.S. boat registrations on a rolling 12-month basis. Bellwether states are geographically dispersed states representing roughly half of the U.S. boat market (varies by market segment and time of year).

Sales were up in every category in October. Overall boat sales were up about 8 percent. Sales in the sportfish and ski boat segments were up just over 10 percent. Outboard sales were also up about 10 percent.
