Jacksonville Boat Show Disappointment

[tashasdaddy]

went to the show at noon, the opening. was there for 1 hour, saw everything. the venue is too small, booths so crowded, you can't see the boats. in my humble opinion, save your $8.00, for the April show. the only thing is enjoyed was seeing the mammoth Yammy 350hp.
merc 300hp are right out ugly.

If all goes well we will have our show in Savannah, Ga Feb 29 thru Mar 2.
They use the trade center and the Savannah River for the show, seems to get a little better each year.

Here is the link if anyone is interested.

Our big show here in Phoenix is running now. Sunday, the 10th, is the last day. Outstanding show for bowriders, deckboats, and wakeboard boats (can we still call them ski boats?). Plus a fair showing of bass boats and pontoons. Few cruisers, zip saltwater boats.

That's one of the reasons I didn't go.

Re: Jacksonville Boat Show Disappointment

Yup, I would love to go to one of the east coast shows with all the fishing boats on display.

Very confusing this year, as the show space was split up between two buildings, which weren't even adjacent. The convention center remodeling is still far from finished. Good news was that bass boats and pontoons were a little more numerous than last year.
