My wife and I had a great time at the boat show. All types of boats seemed to be represented. We want to upgrade our boat. We really, really liked the Formula 35 CBR (cabin bow rider). What a boat! I don't see us spending $290K though! The Hinckley was also cool to see in person. We also liked the pontoon boats, after a lifetime of owning traditional lake boats. I never thought I'd want a pontoon boat, but they seem to be so practical.

The boat show is always a great take, and well worth the drive. We made it really worthwhile by going to Del Frisco's afterward!

We went last Saturday. It was very busy. Most of the local dealers I spoke with said it was a good show, solid turnout. I noted a lot of sold tags on boats, including on the Formula 45PC which was about $950k! It was probably the most expensive boat there, even more than the Hinckley I am told.

In general the show looked larger (more floor space in the venue) than the last few years.

I was there looking for toons. I did not see Manitou there, but basically everyone else was. One of my favorites was the Crest with the windshield. Being a former islander it would have been a great boat. It had a day enclosure that attached to the top of the windshield instead of going down to the floor like a normal pontoon, so it would act much more like a traditional boat. This would have been ideal in my situation as an all purpose boat. It would not be my choice as a day boater though, didn't care for the look. Not sexy enough

I really liked the Aqua Patio AP240CB (with the rear center table). Nice sandbar boat. I was really surprised to hear that with the triple tube setup that boat will take a 350hp!
