New England Boat Show Feb 14 - Feb 22

[tpenfield]

The Boat Show is in town (Boston) and just a shout out - who's planning on going :noidea:

The weather for this Sat/Sun (14-15th) is supposed to be bad and public transportation may be shut down. I plan on going on Monday (the holiday) to see all the boats that I won't be buying this year (again)

Yup, indoors . . . here is a photo from the 2013 show . . .


I hope you are staying warm . . . -10F this morning when I woke up, so it must have been below that out where you are.

Wow, sail boats at a boat show, who'ed a thunk it. Ya'll folks up there need to supply snow plows with anyone willing to get out

It's cold here, not as cold as Yall, but cold just the same. Stay warm

never been to the Boston show and with this weather this year it aint an option. how bigger is it than the RI show? I wonder.

I went to the boat show today . . . it was closed yesterday due to the snow storm.. It seemed to be bigger than in the past few years, taking up most of the Boston Exhibition Center.



Here is the display for one of my favorite brands . . .


I might get something like this some day, once my boat starts feeling its age . . .


Pricing seem to be about the same as prior years . . . I think the manufacturers have 'hit the wall' on pricing.

I did notice this oddity . .


Want 2 more feet of boat? . . . that will be $80K more !?!?!?


Anyway, it is always nice to get out mid-winter, look at some boats and start thinking about spring prep work and boat launching :thumb:

I missed what the "oddity" was about the two different Monty's.
