i dont think its really about looking for a boat going to these shows..but dreaming of a boat..As a boat owner..i still dont miss a show. The SD one is a bit to far, i will wait for the LA boat show. Leave my drool marks on the Skagit Orca 27xl like i do every year.
Have fun drew.
I did buy my boat at the LA boat show 3 yrs back tho..wait till the last day and you can see the hunger in thier eyes..easy prey...screw salesman...turn the tables on them and hunt them down...throw the bait..and watch them SWALLOW it..then let off on the drag a bit and let them run..Finally when they get tired...bring em to the boat sink a gaff and sign the dotted line...Just like fishing

I walked away with a very decent deal for my boat. Better then i would get from the showroom floors.
