I go to NYC every year. Kind of a winter getaway for me to check out the new stuff. But yes, NY, AC, Balt have all sucked for performance boats! I was going to hit Miami last year but the wife nixed that idea!! Man, I remember the days of the Philly show and NY show where there were tons of go fast boats! The good old days!

If there are go fasts, that is the show I want to attend. I have quit going to boat shows, all they have is pontoons, jetskis, and fishing boats.
Yes, people still buy wakesetters, but honestly, fiberglass boats are pricing themselves out of the market for the common family or the next generation is using Mom and Dad's boat instead of buying expensive little fiberglass open bow boats for themselves. Most young families don't own anything that will tow a boat anymore.
If this trend continues, there will be no fiberglass boats at shows period.
How sad is that?
