Virtual Boat Show Season
Jan 26, 2021
The monthly Pulse Report survey asks dealers about the overall effectiveness of virtual boat shows for driving leads and sales, and engaging consumers, compared with in-person events.
The five-question survey also asks dealers to rate the impact of retail trends on inventory of new and used boats, availability of parts and accessories, trade-in activity and governmental action.
Launched by the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas and Baird Research in 2013, the survey gauges monthly retail conditions.
Soundings Trade Only teamed with Baird to disseminate the survey and report the results online and in print.
The survey also includes the Marine Retail Sentiment Index.

As new-boat registration data is tallied, the marine industry will finish 2020 a high note.
With 32 states reporting approximately 64 percent of the U.S. boating market new-boat registrations in December were up 12.8 percent year to date in the main powerboat categories and showed few signs of abating.
On a year-to-year basis, registrations are up 37.3 percent, according to preliminary numbers provided by Statistical Surveys, a Michigan firm that tracks new-boat registrations.
Statistical Surveys sales director Ryan Kloppe said when all the numbers are in, registrations will surpass 300,000 for the year, the highest sales in the United States in the last 13 years.
