I thought it was what it is every year, I was disappointed that there were no Scarabs. But it was nice to see the kryptonite and the two Outerlimits.

Hardly enough performance boats. All the heavy hitters didn't bother coming. I hope they show up for Atlantic City.

it was the same as the last few year's LAME
the cost to set up and rent the space is very high so the small boat builder cant afford to be in it

Word is in the marine industry that AC will be the "new hot venue" for high performance becasue of the cost association with the NY Show.

Sunseeker had one of their best, if not their best ever, NY Show for sales this year specifically with the mid-size range cruising boats. The new 61 Predator WILL be on display in AC. It is the first one in the USA. Almost the entire line will be on display in Miami including the XS 2000 offshore high performance race boat. I don't have an official list yet, but it will be online soon. Sunseeker is also introducing a line of high performance fishing boats starting at 37 feet......

It basically sucked....

There were a few high points:
1) Sunseeker Boats
2) Azimut Boats
3) Outer Limits
4) Sy Goldberg

other than that - you didn't miss anything..although the weather was nice in NYC that weekend and you missed me skating up a storm at the Ice Rink at Rock Plaza.
