As part of a marketing class, I have a project due that includes an industry analysis on the boating industry (my choice). I was hoping to get help finding information from anyone that would be willing. Please let me know if you have any info or links to where I can find info that may be of help in any of these areas: 1. Major manufacturer history (any "pleasure" boats, not just inboards) 2. Sales numbers by manufacturer (inboard, outboard, inboard/outboard, sailboats included) 3. Sales numbers by types (inboard, outboard, inboard/outboard, sailboats) 4. Sales numbers (total boating industry) 5. Top 10 in sales, Top 10 in growth 6. Geographic sales distribution 7. Global sales 8. Customer demographics info (age/income/sex/etc) 9. Growth trends (who is winning/losing - fishing/skiing/wakeboarding/deckboats?) 10. Percent of marketing budgets spent for events/magazine/tv/etc 11. Major suppliers - do manufacturers share common suppliers? 12. New industry entrants - who succeeded and who failed - why? I know some of you have a lot of connections, so I appreciate any help or direction that is given!
