Boat show, did I miss anything?

Has anybody here gone? Anything new or just a bunch of pleasure boats, yachts, pontoons? I have always found the Sportsman Show later in the year to have more in fishing style boats. Hope that changes some year.

Lots of pontoons as usual, but I actually thought there was a better selection of fishing boats than other years. I’ve wanted to see a SeaArk rivercat 200 in person for a while now, and was surprised to see one at the show. Looked like a heck of a rig!

I went to the one in Fargo yesterday. It was loaded with pontoons but had lots of Skeeter Warrior and Lunds also. Saw one pontoon with a 400 hp Merc that they wanted 140,000 for. Reed’s had a small selection of Ice Armor clothing and gloves for 40% off. I bought a helix 9 MSI for $1289 and a friend got a new 24 volt Ulterra with built in Mega Side Imaging for $2500. Also watched Humminbirds rep give a talk on the new MSI Helix and Solix. Lots of boats and pontoons but not a lot of people.

I went on Saturday for about 3 hours. I just like looking at boats, touching them, climbing in them, etc. The Lund and crestliner area had a lot of boats, more so than usual. If anything it gets my mind on spring time.

I spent a short time walking around lost. Met some Ido folks like Trophy19 and some guy named Dean there. Too many to post here.

I too thought there were plenty of fishing style boats. Highest price was $104,000. I was disappointed.

Had a great time giving away candy and I Boated stickers at the Red Wing Marina booth. Seems like everyone knows the owner Cindy.

BK how much did you have to pay those girls to take that picture?

Much less then it would of coming home with a new boat!

our QCA outdoor show is in 3 weeks. Its definitely not the greatest show by any means but its a great way to see people I don’t usually see all the time and basically spend a saturday digging through bins of cheap crap and listening to al linder, babe winkleman, or hank parker blabber on about this or that.
