Detroit boat show - pontoon city
#1
Went to the Detroit show today and it was 50% pontoon boats and ski boats. I could only find 3 "performance boats" 2 bajas and a formula. Not a single cat, no Fountains, no OL, nothing. Not even a Sunsation and Detroit is their back yard! Makes me want to move even more. Just pathic.

That's hard to believe Sunsation wouldn't put at least 1 boat in the show. Heck there only an hour away from Cobo.
Do they still have the bike show down stairs?? It's been a couple years since I've been to the show.

Was down there on Sunday. Seriously disappointed....as was stated above...1 Formula and 2 Baja's. Even the vendor's were for crap...1 booth selling lines...0 booths moving PFD's. Did find an audio guy to do an install for me this spring but other than that, if I'd actually paid to get in I'd have been ticked!
Already knew Sunsation wasn't gonna be there. Seems the go-fast market in Michigan has gone the way of just about everything else here lately!

There were two cat deck boats from magic......other than that one formula........BEER WAS ON ICE........
Anybody look at the regulator center consoles, those are the nicest boats i have seen in a while...There fit and finish was amazing , every screw head on the boat was turned in a row....A big heavy boat but man i bet they ride nice...
