Decent show, but not great. It's still nice to get out of the cold and snow of winter and sniff the new vinyl and figerglass. No Cigs, Sonics, Checks etc- the performance end was a little thin.
Usual display of Bajas, Formulas, Sunsation, Envision, Black Thunder, & Powerquests (Rod Dash is there with Powerquest- always a true gentleman!). Saw Wyatt Fountain with a couple of nice boats at their display (29 and 42, along with a 38 Super Cruiser).
It was nice to visit with Marc Blondin (boatme) and see the Nor-Tech- impressive boat with NA power.
Unless the spec sheet was printed wrong, I was curious to the very smallish 100 gallon tank in a twin BBC-equipped Sunsation. You can go offshore, but you ain't comin' back............... :eek:
Oh- and BTW, no Apaches..........;) :p :D

We got to show late so we missed some of the boats. I did get a couple of pictures.

Our new local Fountain dealer, Shogren Performance Marine, had a nice display. Scott Shogren and Keivin Mulvaney took the time to show us all the new features on Fountains these days. I just wish they hadn't showed my wife the 38' express crusier.:( :( Yes she really liked it!!!!! 63 mph with two 496's is impressive. I'll look great in one of those when I'm 80.:D
