Spoke to Jim Earle he had a 48 Fountain with triple 480 Cummins Diesels . To me that was about the only Go Fast .
Mark had a few nice Tuff boats on display but thats about all there was .

There was a Campion being auctioned off for Breast cancer and a really nice new Campion chase with a 525 in it, nice boat, not 150K nice, but, nice.
Miss Supertest was there, Jim Earle had 2 boats there, usually has his raceboat there and a couple of Baja's, this year I didn't see them. There was a skater and a Donzi at one of the booths as well, but, didn't see them personally.
As is the case with most of the boat shows recently, there was A LOT of 15-19ft bowriders, pontoons, and cruisers. I guess thats what is selling these days, so, it stands to reason thats what the dealers are bringing to shows.
Might be a "marketing ploy", but, I noticed alot of "sold" signs on the display boats?
Anyone from "up here" wanna go to Miami for the show next year? I hear its AWESOME!

yes the Campion that they had was the 800 series. Very pricey, you are right there. Just in Sault Michigan a dealer has a 2009 with 53hrs, 525hp on a trailer asking $70,000. Good deal for someone looking for this syle of boat.

Miss Supertest was looking HOT! The Campion looked like a nice boat. Great fit and finish + 525HP! I have some other photos of the Campion that was being auctioned off but the camera is giving me issue. Anyone else have any photos from the show?

I did not see a skater or any of the Tuff boats. Usually Donzi has a display with at least a 22 clasic, but that was not there. Jim earl usually has a MTI, but no. Overall I was not so impressed with what was there. There was a Van Dutch 40, kinda cool, looked like a mini wally yacht. My favourite boat of the show was the chriscraft silver bullet. Just one sexy 20 ft boat. I am happy I went on friday and did not have to deal with the crowds. The only boat I did not go on because there was a line was the Marquis 50, and there is one 4 boats down at Ontario Place that I can check out any time.
