Baltimore Boat Show........argh

[Stinkbait]

Went today.

They had some(very few) good boats (one's with rod holders on 'em)...but small show...real small...

Can't say much......

Beers are only $6 bucks.

$6.00???? OUCH!!!


I'll tolerate $4 beers, but I won't enjoy them at that price. I won't pay $6 for a crappy domestic beer.

I worked this show a few years ago when I sold boats part time and it was a lot of fun....big show back then too.

I still enjoy the Annapolis show though....and I can usually find a friend, family member or neighbor that has privileges at the Fleet Reserve Club to go with me.

I just got back from the boat show. Actually; I spent more time in my neighborhood "watering hole" than the show. Lou and I took the light rail (always a wonderful experience) to the show to avoid the parking fee. We spent two hours at the show looking at everything. I was really disappointed that the GEICO girl was not there this year. I think the size of the show is a statement on the whole boating industry. I'm waiting for Obama to put in a new cash for clunkers program that includes boats before buying another boat. I did see my embroider there and felt sorry that she had to pay for a space when there wasn't much foot traffic. I bought a nice towel with a rockfish on it for $7. Now everyone on the boat will want to use it and have it full of slime and scales.
Then we hit my local bar for some beers and a cheesesteak sub. It was the best part of the day. 5th (Marty)

Your local watering Hole isn't Howard's by chance?????

I love that place.

I hear that anyone looking to buy a new boat is going to factory direct at Judge Yachts anyhow

I also hear Bill is waiting for O'Malley to offer a no sales tax program for boats built in Maryland in order to stimulate the economy

I went to the show briefly yesterday. Only thing I bought was a MSSA T-shirt and hat. I will say that the hat is sweet!
