Absolutely agree on all counts. I stopped going to the RISAA ripoff 3 years ago and haven't been to any shows in 2 years. I get everything I need from M&D, CMS, RedTop and Scotty at Salty's.
As an aside, I was going to go to the RI Boat Show but, since they raised the ticket price to $12, I said screw them. $10 to park, $12 to get in. $3 for a cup of bad coffee $10 worth of gas. So for $35 all I get is aggravation. No thanks. I think the day of the sportsman shows, with the advent of the internet, has come and gone.
