Boating is big business in Florida. Will sales rebound and if so when?

In Florida, with 961,266 registered vessels enjoying over 2,000 miles of tidal coastline, boating is a lifestyle. It's also big business. Following the Miami International Boat Show in mid-February, all indicators suggested 2020 was going to be a banner year for boat sales. Dealers and manufacturers were thrilled at the prospects of filling orders and enjoying a prosperous year. Then came COVID-19. Like someone flipping a light switch, it all went dark.
