Manufacturers of recreational boats and uninspected vessels are subject to Coast Guard safety standards and regulations in 33 CFR Parts 181 and 183 and 46 CFR 25.10-3. The regulations require the display of labels which provides safety information to the public and evidence compliance with regulations and identify every boat manufacturer.
This is a program Adjustment. Economic changes during the last several years mean significantly smaller numbers of boat manufacturers and numbers of boats sold. For example, compare the numbers of Manufacturer Identification Codes issued in the years 2001-2003 to those issued 2007 Â 2009. The Coast Guard has no way of estimating the numbers of boats manufactured annually. Instead, we use estimates of annual sales figures published by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Statistical & Research Department. Again, compare annual sales statistics for the years 2001-2003 to those for 2007 Â 2009 (See http://www.nmma.org/facts/boatingstats/2008/).
