Fort Worth, 03/03/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/
For the first time since 2008, the Fort Worth Boat Expo returns to Amon G. Carter -William Rogers Exhibit Hall, and after several years of sales gains, powerboats are leading the pack in popularity. With hundreds of powerboats on display from March 17-20, attendees are able to see the newest, fastest and most innovative powerboats in the current supply.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) is predicting that new powerboat unit sales will be at pre-recession levels as early as this year.
“A steadily improving economy and flurry of product innovation have boosted new powerboat sales, which is encouraging to see we head into the winter boat show season, one of the busiest selling periods of the year,” National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) President Thom Dammrich said in a statement. “We anticipate 6 to 8 percent growth in 2016, which would take total new powerboat sales back to pre-recession levels of 250,000 units.”
Bron Beal, Executive Director of the Fort Worth Boat Expo, agrees that increased sales in powerboat and other segments, including the larger boats, has helped the boating industry overall and here in Dallas-Fort Worth. “We expect this season to be one of our busiest, and that means more jobs locally and nationwide. Each boat sold means higher employment. When you multiply those sales, it has a tangible lift in the industry.”
The Expo will have hundreds of all-new 2016 boat and watercraft models on display including the most elite bands of luxury pontoons, jet boats and sport boats in the industry. These boats are available for purchase from over 20 North Texas boat dealers.
