I think the shows are a good way to see new boats, but they are not necessarily the best time to purchase a new boat.
In general, Fall is the best time to buy and Spring is the best time to sell.
If you know what you want already, then some times you can get a better finance rate or some extras at the show, but you should never feel pressured in to writing up a deal at the show. There are too many contingencies to consider: sea trial, financing, trade-in, etc.
