yup. javits. I cant possibly get into any trouble with spending money because I don't have a pot to piss in. just gonna enjoy watching my 11 year old fisherman run around and play on the boats. he has fun there. for me it's pretty much the same thing year after year but my dad would bring me most every year. a nice bonding afternoon.

I used to go to boat shows, but new boats have gotten so far out of my reach price wise that I don't even care to go anymore.

But that sounds like a good way to spend some quality time with your boy CTT...ogle a few fiberglass beauties for me me while you are there.

last boat show with my pop was a bit tough on him. he has slowed down quite a bit by then but he knew everybody there. my pop was a very large personality. we went with my big guy, he was a couple 2, 3 or 4 years old. we were on one of the bigger boats and the boy disappeared for a few. when asked where he was he told us he went to the bathroom. we high tailed it off that boat real quick. he once did the same thing inside a new boat dealership. I guess when you gotta go, you gotta go.

I noticed at the last RV show I went to (also all priced out of my range) that they had all the toilets taped shut.

I'm with Randle on the prices, not to mention some of what people call style on new boats. I've thought somebody could put together a poor man's boat show and have people drag out all their old boats and stuff and pretty much have a marine garage sale in a big parking lot or something. Charge a fee for a parking spot.
