Why it matters
The industry is deeply rooted in American manufacturing, with 95% of boats sold in the United States being made domestically. NMMA's policy priorities include reauthorizing the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund and advancing a strong Water Resources Development Act.
Both the automotive and boating industries are facing challenges related to labor shortages and technological changes.
