The big show

[dalee62]

I was just wondering where people feel the biggest and best boat show in the states is. If you were going to go on vacation and include a boat show, which one would it be?

Thanks
Dave

Miami International Boat Show...

We've done that one several times; three venues (connected by shuttle buses). It took us a couple of days to just walk through most of it.

The Seattle show is one of the largest on the West Coast. It has two venues that are also linked via shuttle buses. At the same time, you could possibly make arrangements to visit the Ranger Factories!

Not the biggest, but if you just cannot wait or travel that far, take that 21 down to Anacortes next week.

Dave: Another great boat show is the Annapolis Power boat show in Annapolis Maryland. ALthough not as large as the Miami show it is more manageable to walk. They have power boats of all kinds from trawlers to large yachts as well as a great vendor area that displays everything from electronics and engines to dinghies, anchors and cloth's.

Let's not forget about Ft Lauderdale . Its a pretty big one with a lot of depth and variety . We will have an R27 and R 29 there . Tix available for Tugnuts .

Thank you for you suggestion. I have been to the Anacortes show and the Seattle show. I will probably do both again. I have never been to Maryland so that's a good excuse. I will investigate all the suggestions. Thank you.
