The other side of the coin...as expected....
Maybe I'm just getting too old....
The twelve consecutive that I attended were just south of suck. The ONLY year I came away with something other than a hangover was when they had an exhibition and a blacksmith and olde world craftsman made a skiff from raw material.
Albeit, I have never been as a spectator. Always for work. My perspective allows me the opinion that anything at the show can be caught in the days that immediately follow.
SEMA was mentioned....NOW THAT IS A SHOW! Really! And since 2005, there has been an increasing prescence of off shore! CES ((just finished) is another, and the bonus there is that it coincides with AVN awards (porn).....and Ron Jeremy pulled me into the parade 2 hrs runnin.....(no details to follow)
I understand a brothers bond, and I think the financial investment (not to mention the hassle) is better spent on a brothers excursion. You both have a love and passion for boats....and more so off shore, so find a coastal location in the warm and rent one for a day...or half day. I'm not pitching you....she's down right now, but I rent my 38 twin with top of 68 for 1k per day. I did the research and this is competitive

I've worked the show and attended as a customer.
As a rep......, stayed on the beach, by myself and was totally unprepared Was getting hit on by hotties just looking for a place to stay for the night and were willing to barter for said services

Has anyone been to the Cleveland show yet? I think I saw on the news that there was a Baja 405 there. I don't know about anything else. Last year was desolate. Hoping there's more to see this year (in the world off Offshore).

I went once in 2003. I saw everything "performance and in water" boats I wanted to see in a day. I won't ever do it again. Now the poker run to Islamarada a define yes. My .02 cents.
