Boating has always been a popular hobby for many people. It seems that it's popularity is growing in the recent years with the average number of boaters growing consistently. This article summarizes a recent poll of boaters given across the nation and the boating trend it is creating.
About 166,800 new powerboats and sailboats were sold, with ski and wakeboard boats topping the list. Also noteworthy is that 2013 was the first time since the start of the recession in 2009 that the ratio of pre-owned to new boat sales decreased — meaning more people wanted new boats again. More than a third of American adults (about 88.5 million people) participated in recreational boating during 2013. Who spent the most to indulge the boating habit?
