Default No Formulas at Grand Rapids,MI boat show?

I'm taking time off work to go and now see there are no Formula boats listed. There are several isted as being at Detroit, but we don't wanna go to Detroit.

Can this be true?

Yes, I can be true.
Offshore boats aren't selling like they used to.
The aren't selling at all at boat shows.
Don't waste your time unless you like looking at bass boats, center consoles and pontoon boats.

Heading to the AC boat show this afternoon. No Fastechs in the line up but plenty of bowriders, SS's, and PCs. Seems their target market is now the day boaters that want plenty of space to entertain but still a little performance and styling.

Formula makes some really nice boats besides there offshore line off Fastech's but like Vintage said there will a lot of fishing, CC, and pontoon boats there. Dry Harbor Marine, out of Charlevoix Mi, has done GR in the past but is not doing it this year. There number is 231-547-0040 if you have any questions that they can help you with.

Too bad, missed them last year too. Seems like they are missing out without a West Mi dealer- easy to see the Formula difference when the others are side by side!

I suppose it doesn't help having the Detroit show at the same time. It looks like Dry Harbour will be at the Detroit show

Haven't bothered with going to the GR show in a long time.

If W.C. Fields were alive today his famous quote regarding dogs and kids would have probably been

"Anybody that hates dogs, kids and pontoon boats can't be all bad"

disclaimer -- I'm not trying to offend pontoon boat owners!!
