2021 WINTER BOAT SHOWS

[DaveC111]

Two Boat Shows start next week ! The Stuart Boat Show , and Toronto ( Toronto only virtual ) . Rather than be dazzled by fluff ..... ask the important questions about construction ,----- components and warranty .

I will be waiting till Summer 2021 , When LEMON AID , the 2018 R27 Ranger Tug will be plying the waters of the Great Lakes and Lake Simcoe in search of boat shows and events . See you on the Waters !

$5 was $4.99 more than it was worth. I spent a bit of time on the Seattle boat show site, with a $5 ticket. Utter waste of money.

Most vendors of boat gear didn't have transparent pricing, instead the "call for pricing" label. Buying fenders/radar/etc... shouldn't feel like buying a used car where I need to phone in to make a deal because they won't price honestly upfront.

Anyone considering the Seattle Online Boat show, I would suggest saving your money and visit yachtworld.com, or go directly to a vendors website. If you find the boaters university classes worthwhile, then be prepared to spend more money as the $5 ticket won't let you watch any seminars that aren't strictly advertising.

I missed the ad, so I couldn't attend the event.
