Builders\, dealers\, brokers\, and all marine product and service providers are wise to start developing strategies to evolve with the changing markets. Matt will help Maine’s boating industry start to think about ways we can prepare for this evolution. Our session with Matt will take place just days ahead of MRAA’s Dealer Week in Tampa where many sessions will go into further aspects of this topic.
