I have an email in to them on this point...

are Moorings boat sales setting records? I would imagine the investment risk is higher with uncertain income stream...I know new boat sales in US for recreation are much higher


They are sold out on many models with waiting lists going out long term. There certainly is risk but in the end you still have the boat if it all falls apart. The Moorings is the only company to pay all their owner obligations through Irma and the pandemic. They also have a large undrawn credit line. Strangely I think Irma made the Moorings money as they ramped up production to replace the destroyed boats. A high number of owners with boats totaled rolled right over into new boats with their insurance checks. Normally the Moorings has quite a few new discounted boats on their website. At the moment they have none.
