Cool Detroit boat show

Went to the boat show tonight. Soooo nice to see the place packed with boats and seeing/hearing all the boats being sold. The show was far better/ bigger than last year. Hopefully a sign of the times...

I stopped going years ago. There was nothing performance related. Even local Sunsation never set up there. Any performance boats this year?

I sure hope so. I'm gonna puke if I have to look at many more pontoons. At least we have the best car show but Miami takes the prize for best boat show.

I saw the Apache there for display. No real high performance offshore stuff there for sale. I did see formula there but no Fastech's. I asked the guy about it and he said the market for offshores is so small they just bring what sells... It was just nice to see all the action in this area again.

Make the drive to Grand Rapids Boat Show. This year there will be 3 offshore boats on display! A 42 Fountain with 1100's, 34 Saber with Ilmors, and a 28 Saber with outboards.
