New York Show
 

Anybody go? What was there or should I say what companies are left?

No performance boats, they did have the Miss Geico 40 Platntium that was it.

I was told Fountain was there, just CC's and cruisers though

Miss Geico 40 Platinum? Do they have a boat they just use for boat shows? I didn't know they had a 40 Platinum. Good for them

I think the 40' is the MTI...?

No its a Platinum. It was their first turbine (cat) race boat.

I talked with a dealer yesterday, that was there, and he said they had a good show :)

The show is a mere shell of it's former self...

I was there and talked with a couple dealer friends of mine and they had some promising leads and 1 sale among them. Not sure how it ended up, but aside from Miss Geico, there was nothing evenclose to a performance boat. There was a SWEET Buddy Davis CC though!

I was on the Buddy Davis what a nice boat, but the show was small and hardly anybody there but you can't blame the boat company's it cost a lot to get a booth at the Javitz center. I did hear the bell ring over by Sea Ray once maybe they sold a boat.

I'm shocked Buddy Davis was at the show.
They are not a regular. And far from a production builder.

Hey now there was the Formula SS line - The 35, 37, 40SS They are pretty nice. :cool: Also the friggen Master Craft boats are up to 32'+ unbelievable :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Aside from Formulas and the Scotty and Reese line, there really was nothing PERF.

The Sea Ray salesman told us when we were there, on Friday night 9pm, that they had sold 22-25 boats already and they were NOT all 21'rs. Sold a couple 45' and at least couple others over 34' and I think a 50'+ ... granted: he said these were mainly customers they had already been working on or had relationships with, but none the less sales. He said compared to last year .. def. night and day.

More traffic into show and more sales. Dave P. also confirmed much more traffic thru the doors and was def. higher this year.

I went to both the Bike show and the boat show, Your right the Buddy Davis was SWEET. The Bike show had mainly big manu. and only ONE custom builder.

They helped increase the traffic by only charging $12 to get in. I remember when it was alot higher then that. The show used to be great, back in the later 80's Ocean Outboard would have a few Skaters and Fountain and Cig would have a great showing.

I thought Ocean Outboard was at the show?? I hope he wasn't selling cruisers!
