Holy chit Bro, only powerboat listed there is Formula!!!!!!!! OMG, everyone has bolted from the show, unbelieveable!!!!! I'm prob still going to go tho, kids love to look at the ski boats, gear, etc.

The last show that Fountain was at the boat show costed the company $50K after all expenses were paid. Not worth the expense any more.

[eightsecmopar]

Wouldn't waste my time or money

[sweet addiction]

I thought we were the only ones. Austin has one and it always sucks. We just like to go hang out and drink beer. Always run into someone we know.

Sunday is only $5 if you buy tickets online FYI !!!!!

Enter promo code: SUNDAY

[redhotsommer]

Where in god's name are you going to park on Sunday? The reason they are $5 is due to that OTHER thing that is going on right next door to McCormack Place...

[OBNOXUS]

Yup,,,,,and I couldnt care less about either event !!!!!! LOL

[redhotsommer]

Yeah...we all know you HATE boats! :)

[OBNOXUS]

I know right !!! :driving:

[10x]

There just is'nt anything at the show that I feel is worth going through the effort of going down there for. Watchin the snow melt sounds more exciting to me than our current boat show, and I like boats. Go figure. :puke:

I rember the days that John G and I had a spot there

We would bring a Black Thunder or in the later years a Nor Tech to sell

We would be behind the Cigs and stuff that National would bring and even Awsome Cat had a spot

All the big offshore boat Mfg's would be represented

Ahhhh the good old days

[10x]

Yea Marc, the good ol' days is right. :rolleyes: Never to be again. :puke:

I think thats a great investment.. sell one boat and you`ve made your money back and then some. Then theres the exposure, bringing in new customers etc..

I bring my Rolling Showroom to local events and even if I don`t sell anything the exposure is worth it..

[Bobcat]

I was there in 95' and it was rockin, it's a shame that it slowed down.

Well I Went to the Show, What a Extream Waste of Time, 10 Buck's to get in 19 buck's to park, 1hr / 15min at the show seen alot of "nice" T&A but that was it. W.T.F. Boat Show.

Marc the Detroit show will be just as lame, :willy_nilly: you will see more performance boats in my back yard. :rofl:

Going to Shogrens is alot more of a boat show than the Boat Show is.

[ICDEDPPL]

I`m with you.. which one has a better/bigger/more boats?
Shogren? (they seem to have a lot of Fountains thou ) Grand Sport in Lake Hills or Morris?

[MILD THUNDER]

Any particular reason you wouldnt be interested in a Fountain?

Never been to lake in the hills GSC. I think jerry runs the morris location still. In morris, i think most of their inventory is outside, which kinda sucks when its 14 degrees out for looking at boats.

[ttuton]

The GSC in Lake in the Hills seems to has a better inventory of nice Big Boats. The one in Morris is mostly smaller Bajas.

[ICDEDPPL]

Mild, just wanted a bigger selection of different brands to look at

[Beast1]

Well lucky for us we have them both in the area. Plus between Grand Sport Center and Shogren they have more boats for sale then the entire Boat show.
