Boston Boat Show You Going?
Just thought I'd let you all know I saw a steady stream of boats on their way up the SE expressway this afternoon all heading for the boat show.
I am hoping to go next week to look around, going to look at electronics, and safety gear. No new boat for me.

I'll be there. Scoping out 30' ish WA and Express for next year purchase. I like to take my kids (2 & 6) one day, let them crawl all around. Great way to spend 3-4 hrs in the winter. spend most of the time on bigger cabin boats for them to crawl around.
Then I go again with a couple friends to seriously look ...  |

I'm going to try to go one of these days. With big snow coming I'll have to head north and ride the snowmobile however if there is a free day as the show runs from Friday to Saturday, I'm going to try and get there. I love these things, especially in the dead of winter and I just love boats in general.
I think if I did not do what I do, I would definitely work on boats.

Remember folks the show runs during school vacation week. Don't forget to bring the little ones and plan accordingly.

I'll be there to look real close at a few boats. Might pull the trigger next year but still a great way to kill a day.

one of my co-workers painted the stalls in the lot and i believe he said it has like 1000 parking spaces. i've been there all week installing signs in the lot and underneath the bcec. i don't think i've ever been that cold for that long in my life! if you see the crooked stop sign, it wasn't me.saw all the boats already for free so maybe i'll find something else to do. enjoy.

go north past the lot/expo, about 500 yards on the right there's a beach with about 30 or so free parking spaces.
it's a little walk, but it's a free walk  |

Going Wednesday with some of my buddies. I got $5 discount tickets. and the new venue is around the corner from my work,
so parking is FREE !!!!!!
Sooooo, I might have enough money left to buy a beer at the show !!!!!
I might be able to sneak a couple of friends cars into the lot too.
