miami boat show
Is a boat show a good place to buy parts? do the seller normally offer show discounts? I only know about the european boat shows, which are much smaller than in the US.

I went last year, and I know some vendors were offering "great" deals on waxs and trailer hitches that I was looking at.

What kind of parts are you looking to buy?
Expect some dealing on big ticket items; like if you are dropping at LEAST $1000 US. (motors, full trim tab systems, full gauge package, full shifter/throttle control setup) But little one and two purchase like a bezel here and there, or a gauge here and there you will see slight discount, but not much. Hardly any vendors stock parts in their Miami Boat Show booths. Most are just one of a certain/each part just for display. You probably won't be taking anything home with you, unless you have something express shipped to you while you are here in the US; and you hand carry it home. |
no idea what to do. at the moment i am talking to 2 diff. companies for buying complete engines. if i get a good offer i could sell the 454mags and buying something new. but i do not want to spend that much money, because till now i had no chance to go with my boat, so i do not know if it makes sense to change the engines. but new is new and mine are not new.
i think the best way is to go for a nice exhaust this year and see how happy i am with this boat. |
