New England Boat Show

[Smuggler's Blues]

Hi guys,

Just thought I would pass this along to anyone in the NE area looking for something to do next week.

Nice to be able to walk through some of the boats I know I could never afford lol.

On the fence on whether or not to go.
If I don't, I wont see anything cool.
If I do, I'll probably see something cool I want to try to model into my boat, which, like any boat project, won't be cheap.

On my way home from work today, on the expressway, I saw a beautiful 50ish footer being hauled in. It looked like a hunt or something of the similar.

Re: New England Boat Show

I'm going . . . I don't work too far from the exhibition hall, so maybe after work during the week, or perhaps on the first Sunday.

It runs Feb 11th - 19th, so you get to choose between 2 weekends.

I cannot wait to see all the boats that I will not be buying this year !!!

sunday is typically "family day" at boat shows.

the best time to go to a boat show is during business hours thru the week...
the sales guys are right on you with any questions and will spend the time......unless the dont smell money...lol

Re: New England Boat Show

I'm going this Saturday. Cant really afford anything right now but its something to do and yachting magazine gave me a 2 for 1 on the tickets. So for $14 dollars I figure what the heck. Last year I spent about 45 min with the Bennington sales rep from Channel Marine got to say he was good no pressure and answered all of my questions even though I told him up front I wasnt buying anytime soon.

Re: New England Boat Show

I was concerned about going the very first day (Saturday 11th) and the very last day (Sunday 19th) of the show. I figure that those may not be the best days, but who knows.

Re: New England Boat Show

I just got back. I looked all around and at several different boats, ended up right back a the Bennington dealer talking to the same salesman I spoke to last year.

Re: New England Boat Show

looks good. I feel the same way about the Bennington. Now just to get my bank account to agree with the idea.
