LA / Pomona Boat Show, March 1-3

[throttle]

Anyone getting excited about this?

Who will be there?

 

[ChrisV]

Oh nice! Was wondering why it wasn’t in Jan.

 

[throttle]

Definitely late this year! But gonna come up fast in 3 weeks!

 

[Joeman]

I read that this year it is being held on the first week of April.

Are you referring to the Lake Havasu Show? It is scheduled for April 19,20 & 21 at Windsor 4.

The LA / Pomona Show is scheduled on March 1-3.

 

[73mandella]

Nope. Haven’t had the style of boats I enjoy at the boat shows in a few decades. While I appreciate and respect all types of boats and boating, I’m really into 18 to 20-foot flats, v-bottoms, and jets and of course the old-style day cruisers like the Schiada and Howard. Maybe you can remember that white and maroon Schiada day cruiser they showed for a few years. I've also seen it on RD's. I would, however, like to get a pontoon boat before I’m finished with boating.

 

[throttle]

Too soon for you guys?

Am I the only one gonna be there?

 

[RiverDave]

I am debating if we are going to exhibit or not. They have space for us but we’d be in the very back building with the Njba and so cal jet boats and that’s about it.

The price isn’t bad but for us to go it would be kinda pricey because of logistics / staff and hotels etc.

If we can get in between the buildings over by Al and Ed’s I’d do it for sure.

Still working on it. Either way we will be there to cover it

 

[DrunkenSailor]

Going

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

We’ll go but I’m trying to talk my group into going to something worthy instead like the Havasu Boat show.

We kind of speed walk it through the first two halls and linger in the real boats hall and then grab something from Pinks and take off.

 

[mjc]

I am going to miss it, same weekend as the March Meet. I have been wanting to go to Famoso for a long time and will be there.

 

[Havaduner]

I'll be your Huckleberry. What day you going?

 

[Singleton]

That is my fetch boat for annual service and upgrade weekend.

Sounds like Havasu will be peaceful that weekend with NO wind towing back to Carlsbad

 

[NicPaus]

Maybe. Going there the following weekend for the Flow Expo.

Saturday

Would you go to the ‘very back building’ if Al and Ed’s were there? Asking for a friend.

No I'd go to the back building to see the NJBA and So Cal Jetboats stuff for myself.. LOL. But when you are setting up trade show booths I tend to look at where the traffic is to maximize contacts with attendees in order to conduct business.

Unless of course we are talking about our local shows.. In which case wherever rdp is, is generally the draw.

By the way, if you don't mind my asking, who are Al and Ed?

 

[King295]

Go to the show and you'll know when you hear them, although Kicker at the last Sand Sport Super Show had some side by sides that were flat out insane! Couldn't be within 50 feet without getting rattled and I love me some bass.

Al & Eds is a stereo shop chain and some of the So Cal shops do pretty solid work. Cars, boats, bikes you name it.

I'll probably hit the show on Sunday.

 

[NicPaus]

They used to stay at Echo. Stereo shop that is known for great installs.
