At the show I saw 2 Warriors, 1 Tuffy & 0 Yar-Craft.
Skeeter was well represented. Got to say hi to Dave, Greg, Dean, Chris & the Fishing Queen at the SCB booth.
Remember the Lund & Crestliner boycott a couple of years ago? They must have kissed and made up because there were alot of tin boats also.
Got to say hi to some folks, got to spend wayyyyy to much money, got to kill a few hours so all is well.
Hannay’s had YarCrafts at their booth. Did anyone check out the new Backtroller boat or the new Ranger 175 tiller?
Yar Craft? Hannay’s has three or four front and center right as you walk in. Spent Thursday after the show testing out the cup holders in one with Tom and the Hannay’s gang. Not my brand of boat but great group of guys none the less. 
Took a quick peak at the new Ranger tiller. It seemed really shallow especially if you compare it to the skeeter or tuffy 17’ers. I think they could have done a better job with the bow storage or lack there of. I think this boat will be quicker and have a better holeshot then the others but in a 17′ tiller who’s looking for speed. But I’m sure they’ll sell some because of the name.
2 Warriors at the show is pretty good, 
With a small crew, building em one at a time and starting a few months ago 
It was fun looking at all the shiny new boats, not so much fun looking at the price tags. Got to see Dean, Chris Granrud, Jake H, and the guys from St. Paul Fly Tying club.
Also stopped by the DNR booth and picked up my magic AIS sticker.
