I went about 4 years ago, it was a great show. The 26 General Marine had my interest back then.

Went to the Boston show on Sunday, spent the entire day there. Too much money for me, I'll be buying used next time around. or waiting for Matt to buy one first.

Went yesterday, about 2/3rd normal size of show, but still a nice walk-through and escape from the winter doldrums.

Took home the brochures on Rampage, Albemarle, and Luhrs. Told my nephew we will keep the Nauset for our bass and blues trips and use a new, fast, express for our tuna trips, park them side by each on the wharf. Gotta dream in the winter - but then again, the dealers were more than willing to deal.

I went yesterday, best part of the trip was down the road for No Name's seafood chowder, but it was a good show, it's a sign of spring.

The $400+K 36ft Grady CC was massive, 1050hp with the 3 350's on the stern, but at least grady has the courtesy of putting a price on the boats.

The 23ft Whaler looks just like Grady's 23 gulfstream.

The most interesing boat for me was the RIB boat with landing gear ( one wheel on the bow, 2 on the stern) that will move it on land at 6mph (propelled by a 2 stroke motor under center console seat). The boat might of been 20ft, with a 115 etec, If I'm ever looking to burn $83K, that might be the spot. http://www.sealegs.com/

Rich, you really thinking about getting a second boat?
