July brokerage transactions in the U.S. were fewer in number but much pricier than a year earlier. A total of 2,871 boats were sold—12 percent fewer than the 3,257 sold in July 2016—but the transactions produced $380 million changing hands, an increase of $50 million, or 15 percent. This contrasting data was compiled based on YachtWorld member brokers reports in the SoldBoats database.
