Default Providence Boat show this weekend

We have a 24 footer in the Providence Boat show this weekend. Please stop by and take a look at our Banana boat.

This is the season for some really good deals on everything from the 24 up to the 39 footers.

I'll be there on Thursday and Friday for sure. Stop by and say hello and let's make a deal !!!!!

Amazing that after so many years, the majority of attendees at the Providence Boat show still don't know what a bracket is.

The boat we had at the boat show had a Stainless Marine 30 inch bracket / swim platform combo. We left the outboard off so the customer could pick both brand and horsepower of his liking.

Over and over again, the same question......"Is this a new drive system on this boat?"

I finally gave in to popular opinion......"Yes, it is." I replied !!!

And then once they stood there in amazement, I just let them have all the secret info we had been holding back from the marine world.

I began......"The reason we chose this particular system.... is the 100 year full warranty ....that comes with the drive package. Once you purchase the boat and register with the company in Brataslava, you recieve a letter allowing you to come to the factory for full rebates of any money you might have spent in the previous 100 years. All refunds will only be paid after the 100 years are up." Heads nodding in wonder.

Sailboaters everywhere, not a high performance boater to be seen for miles around.

Charlie, Saw you with a "prospect" around 6:30 so I thought it
best to let you talk to him than to me. Caught up with Gerry &
Artie and got tied up discussing potential "towing" situations in the
event of a breakdown...came back to your display and you had
just left. Yeah, pretty sad when you had the only real boat there!
I guess us internal combustion guys are less and less each year.

Default Prov Boat Show.....

People here are stupid.
that is the sum of it all... I had a man yesterday argue with me that there was no way I had a banana boat because they stopped making them in the 90's...he got so angry I had to get a police officer to remove him... and I was not at the boat show but an ice rink..... Charlie... I know the new system...have it.. works.... any more questions just ask..... end of story.....

Unfortunately Charlie, we live in the sailboat mecca. I remember the days when performance boats were everywhere, now we are the black sheep in many harbors. I have attended many boating get together s from fishing tournaments, to sailboat races. and I would have to say the best behaved people are usually at offshore poker runs. Just my thoughts.
