There are several trends taking over the boating world in 2017. U.S. boat sales are expected to surge this year. Industry experts say many buyers are looking for large boats, such as yachts and cruising boats. Boating companies are also embracing the "sharing economy," which are helping more and more people discover boating through rental apps and websites. Chicago Boat, RV & Strictly Sail Show Manager Keith Ogulnick joined Eyewitness News live from the showroom floor to talk about all of the top trends.
