THE STORY BEHIND THE NUMBERS

Four numbers.
Four boundaries.

Read each statistic in its own population, period and unit.

Retail spending, new transactions, used transactions and registered vessels describe different parts of boating. The issue keeps those distinctions visible.

Archived reporting · Evidence cutoff: October 5, 2026. Original source periods are retained; this presentation does not update the underlying figures.
