I'll be going, not sure when, though. It's always good to crawl over the boats and shake my head as to why anyone would pay up for what they're showing.

If your in the area, Cape Cod Boat Show in Hyannis runs the same weekend. Small but interesting. Local builders and vendors. Cheap admission, easy parking. sponsored by Marine Trades Assoc.

I will be working the US Power Squadron booth on the Seventeenth, Friday evening.

For the past few years my wife and I have been going to the New England Boat Show both to gain some knowledge and to walk-though the many larger boats.

We have noticed when we go the first day, all of the exhibitors are happy to talk to anyone. One year we went on the last day of the show. People were nowhere near as talkative. Having been involved in many trade shows over the years (and the one who had to set up AND tear down the booth), I did understand their mood.

We will be there on the first day, Saturday. Last year I got to meet "Maine Sail" in person...
