“I think it's a mix of things: weather, uncertainty about the economy, increasing costs across the board…” Big time! Wednesday before the 4th where I was, less boats than any Wednesday pre-covid. That is a typical vacation week?
You had the news article last week with the boat market back to normal. Is there a new normal?
I have been told secondhand stories of used boats traded in last year still not sold as of last weekend (his trade in). Left over pontoon rentals (2024) still not sold.
My place still advertising valet spots available!
Traffic is most defiantly down this year.
