So is anyone here going to attend? I have been looking at the list and it sounds interesting. I can't afford the Fountains but I hate to think about someone else stealing them. I don't really even know what they are worth and they are gonna sell this weekend!

They don't have the 500's anymore.

I am curious to find out what they go for. That guy had a lot of toys.

My buddy is there, says both the boats abused, look like they were tied up next to rough concrete on rough water.

No obvious maint on anything, may be some deals, but a lot of people there, so likely not

I worked for the family that owned that airpark in the 80's, I think it's the same guy... He has a BUNCH more toys than that! Our paychecks bounced several times.
