March 2010 Brokerage Sales Stronger
While the number of brokerage boats under 45 feet sold in March increased about 25 percent, from 1,893 to 2,356, larger boats sold at a rate about 50 percent higher than March '09, with 218 boats sold, up from 144. Clearly, some of those larger boats were more expensive units than the ones selling 12 months ago.
Brokerage sales have been stronger than the previous year's benchmarks for several months, but for the first time, in March 2010, unit sales not only beat unit those of March 2009, they were actually 150 boats, or 6 percent, higher than sales two years earlier, in March 2008. And for the first quarter of 2010, with 5943 boats sold, sales were almost even with the first quarter of 2008, when 5985 boats were sold. That's a big improvement, although still about 1000 boats short of the number sold in the first quarter of 2005 through 2007.
