Hey RD, turn around... You can see it all on my "Thursday at the boat show..." thread.

 

[Aaron]

[SFV2RVR]

All this talk about how much better the boat show is this year, I went yesterday and checked things out and I gotta say it still sucked ass!

 

[catman]

Hey RD,I am stuck working at the Springs.When you are at the Nodic booth,Tell Thane that you have a member that wants to kick Bucks ass at Loto this year.Thinking about building a 28 ss.ask him if a #6 would work on that 28 or would it be to heavy.Oh,I need some dealer pricing also.Have fun..

Better in terms of sales for Mfg's and quality of products offered to the public Mark.

I wouldn't expect it to be an overwhelming show of years past. From what I have heard from the NMMA though it is already turning he corner and on the way back.

The boat shows up my way always suck also. I'm sure alot more than the one down there.

Does kinda make you think why bother? Most people that go are just walking around spilling beer. :rolleyes

 

[riverbrian]

Went to show today, and it was kind of a waste. The only boat I wanted to sit in was the new M-29, but that was only aloud if you were buying one I guess..no one gave me the time of day.

Not bashing, but if you see the Intercepter deck boat, run your fingers under the port side rub rail. Not sure they spent too much time making sure the top and bottom were aligned :eek

 

[Joker]

Sounds like a great show.:rolleyes

 

[Sbarry]

You guys are bumming me out! What the heck?! Lol oh well, I'm still pumped to see some nice hardware!!

 

[Rickybobby]

Thanks for the report guys, at least I wont be disappointed. We are going Sunday in spite of the suck ass reports, more for a "rite of season" than to look at and kick tires on a new ride!!! Kinda of a date with mama and a chance to spill some "jack" !!!!! Hopin to use Campbell's Carls gift card after and maybe just maybe !!!!:boobeyes::boobeyes:

 

[HavasuHank]

If I didn't have to work this weekend, I'd definitely go. Beats sitting at home doing jack shit.

Pretty rare you see me do anything at the LA show without a drink in my hand.. Lol. If there was no booze then what would be the point of going?

That was a New Sauce Product (in the red cup) that Dave is personally involved with and obviously he's doing some extensive testing. The new product is called mind sauce. It's to put you in a new state of mind so you can tackle those big projects throughout the week. Side effects may include, slurred speech, blurred vision, loss of balance and pleasant dreams. This New Sauce Product will be released when Dave gives it the 2 :thumbsup :thumbsup...

 

[H20-ski]

How much did he spend on beer?

I'll take the vids though, one thing I will probably never do is make it to the LA boat show. Good insight.

 

[TBulger]

Great thread for those of us that have run out of money and must stay away from the show.

The answer to that can be found in the wozencraft video.. Lol

 

[boatpi]

Interceptor Boats looks like Genesis Boats????? I believe Genesis is long out of business??

It's not genesis.. They have the old 23 eliminator, 28 fun deck and the 25 virage. They have made minor changes to the fun deck.

I won't write about the boats etc until I get back to Havasu tomorrow and they will start coming up one by one throughout the week. I did interview the rest of the performance Mfg's there and those videos will be online tonight / tomorrow.

There was one though that was a direct copy of a southbay to the point I believe it to be a southbay rebadged.. Fully loaded with the bar blue led's all the crazy shit. 59k! Cheap compared to all the rest!

I have to second that. Insane. Remove a generous 60K for the twin wackers - 80K floating barge. Amazing. The market is apartantly supporting this. Just saying - when I take my pontoon out it is for pure relaxation and someone could literally light the thing on fire and I would shrug it off.
