I was there on Sunday also at the Convention Center.
It was freezing cold (65F), but with the proper gear (leather jacket, scalf and other) I was able to get out so my son could enjoy the outdoor activities for kids.
I went to the free boat maintenance seminar, but it was just OK. The very basics. Well, it was free!
... but the boats were not.
I don't mean to rant, but the price on small cruisers is not within the range of people like me. Holly sh*t! If you don't want to buy a Glastron, you have to pay over 100K for a 26 footer. Even Bayliners are expensive. No offense to anyone here, I owned one and I loved it.
