Boston boat show

Who's going? This is the best one around here. I will be there. I am also willing to bet that participation from both vendors and show goers will be spartan at best.

I'm going - haven't decided what day yet.

I bet it will look more like a funeral than a show. Good opportunity if you have $ on hand.

Not me this year. I'm so frigging broke right now I can't even afford to dream! I didn't think it was possible but this both sucks and blows.

turnout will definitely be low, alot of the dealers we work with were bringing minimal products/boats/etc...we never set up there since we're not a dealer and my boss hates boat shows after working them for 25+ years

I hope to. I'll find out on Thursday or Friday night. Last year I ended up down there with nothing to do soooooo, off to the show to ride on the big CCs. It was a bit overwhelming but the eye candy is amazing. Oh, the boats were good too

boatless................can I have a ride?

What's THT?

I've been going to both the RI and Boston boat shows for year (actually bought one in 2001). But the economy has me down and I can't even dream without getting pissed off. So...no go this year.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
