Austin Boat Show??
 
Do any of the performance boat dealers bring anything larger than a 32 footer to the show. I will be in Austin Wed - Sat this week for a conference. Houston has become a real dissapointment in recent years.

Thanks.

South Austin Marine will have the largest display this year. Over 60 boats and I was told over 1/2 are over 30ft.

I know for a fact S.A.M. will have a 35' w/ 525's, a 38 w/ 525's, & a 42 w/ 700's. Ask for Jason Colca, he'll steer you right.

Yeah I bet "ole Jason" will be able to "steer" me right. If he was a REALLY great salesman he woudla STEERED (no UT dig meant) me into a 38 in the first place in April when he sold me the 33.

What don't you like about the 33? They have another '99 down there that has my eyebrow raised.

I plan on being there Friday evening around 7ish. I figure we'll head straight to South Austin Marine and loiter a bit.

My favorite of the whole show...... although the 44 Sundancer woudl be the BEST. I have been attending the Houston show since I was a kid with my Dad. There was NO comparison. The folks at Austin were much more open and ready to speak with you. I'll be back in future years.

Yes, but they were running on A/C power. How long do you think 8 batteries would last in a party cove? Three maybe four hours?

You would want/need a genset to run that sound system! :eek:
