Pleasenton RV and Boat Show

[Escape Route]

Was at the show yesterday lots of RVs but………..
For Boats there was Malibu, Sanger and a couple other wake/ski boats, 1 small Boston Wailer, a couple inflatable, and folding boats. All in all, a dozen ski boats and some dinghies. Star Marine was there with their usual electronics display, the Yachtsman and the U.S. Power Squadron. That was it for boating.

The shows have been so bad the past 3-4 years I don't even bother going anymore. It's a shame because I really enjoyed going when they were bigger.

Thanks for posting. Was thinking of going. Won't bother. Sure do miss the old Cow Palace, 1990s circa Jack London and previous Alameda County Fairgrounds shows.

Well, you can thank the losers at the NCMA for killing off the Cow Palace Show. [:-censored]

And this is all that they can give us for our winter show. A dozen boats in the middle of an RV show... [:-thumbd]

Un-frickin-believable...

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking of going also this weekend. I had a friend go for the RV Show but didn't make over to the boats so he couldn't let me know what it was like. I to miss the Cow Palace shows. Bought both my boats there over the years.

Star Marine was really the only marine vendor there for bigger boats. Malibu was the primary boat manufacturer there as they had pretty much all there boats. There were a couple water sports vendors there in the ski boat hall. Got a great deal on a wake boards and a couple pair of bindings. Calling it a boat and RV show was a bit miss leading. It was a great RV show though, without many boats they had lots of room for RV's.
