just got back from NYC Javits show-WTF
 
Show stunk,,, no performance boats,,the Mercury display only had bravos displayed and a few outboards and the Miss Geico I think was a fake the motor wasnt even bolted in ,,really disappointed..and worst of all.. took half hour to get a beer...

Thanks for the heads up. I was going to go.

Yea, was going to go as well. Even had free tickets, but decided against. I heard gieco sent the old mti, not sure if thats truth but from what you've stated thats what it sounds like. Heard from some guys setting up this week that it $ucked.

Thanks for the heads up!SAD it was the best in the past sign of the times:picard1: I think I'm going to put the nix on it also!Did you check out the bike show next door?

The NY show hasnt been good since the early 2000's. Even then there was only a handfull of performance boats. Miami is the only show to go to.

Thank you for the heads up. After looking online on what boat brands would be their we decided not to go this year, acutally havent gone in quite a few years. Few years back they didn't have a ton of performance boats but they did have Baja, Fountain, Cigarette, and I think Donzi.

Was there also , what a dissapointment

Just got back myself and I'm also disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the azimuts were awesome (despite the hour long line) and I really liked the formulas, but not a single performance boat. Kind of a let down...oh well. On the bright side, got a new VHF radio and stereo system for a good price :drink:
