NMMA Releases Boat Manufacturing September Report

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) reports new boat manufacturing activity in September pulled back for the second consecutive month following a summer of elevated growth, according to its latest Monthly Shipment Report (MSR). However, the NMMA expects shipments to rebound as new parts are delivered to fulfill the demand for new boats.

Highlights from the September MSR include:

• New boat manufacturing activity in September pulled back for the second consecutive month, tracking at near normal levels compared to 2019.
• Year to date, new boat shipments are down 13% through September on a seasonally adjusted basis.
