But I was only there for two hours because there was absolutely nothing interesting to look at(except some well made old school wood boats). The performance guys should really at least have some sort of showing there. Just my .02

I was at the show too and the only thing that caught my attention was the detail on some of those old wood boats. Im not really a fan of those boats, but you can sure appreciate the time and effort that went into them!

We really never have anything performance boats at our show except the eliminator dealer.

I thought it was strange when I looked at the Chicago show that Shogren wasn't even listed.
Is that true?

No they weren`t there. There was ONE performance boat at the entire show.. It was a Formula Fastech.
The rest were cruisers and runabouts..etc.. BOOOORIIING
I`ve been going for a few years but it was a waste of time and $.. I won`t be going again.

I used to attend all the powerboat shows in my area in the past. But with the economy the way it is, I have to watch my money just like everyone else. I'm sorry ... but I am not going to spend money to go to a boat show when there is basically nothing there performance wise that interests me. My pockets don't run deep ..... maybe it would be different if they did. I feel bad for the boating industry right now .... but I feel worse for some of my neighbors that are now in foreclosure.
