    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..

    All the big offshore boat Mfg's would be represented

    Ahhhh the good old days
    Marc the Detroit show will be just as lame, you will see more performance boats in my back yard.

    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.

    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.

    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.
