Bishop posted:I'll get the ball rolling. The ft Lauderdale or Miami boat shows are the two I go to annually. You can tour yachts (my next boat will be a Lazarra in the 60ft range), but they have everything down to zodiacs. There's also all kinds of booths where they show off electronics: radar, chart plotters, radios, etc. Guy Harvey autographed my guy Harvey shirt at the ft Lauderdale show a few years back. No one knows what he looks like lol so he was just kinda chilling behind an easle instead of being mobbed at a booth in the corner. He's a p chill dude

I like boats and their shows, but I feel that the usage of 'boat babes' is marginalizing to a lot of potential women boat owners and probably why boat ownership is so male-dominated. Clickbait writers are leaving money on the table.

This being the Great Lakes they weren't as big as an ocean boat show would probably have.

cub posted:sometimes i go to the marina at the reservoir and sit and watch the boats come in after a long day. i try to imagine all the places they have been and the things the have seen. where did they go? to the spillway? over by the submerged farm silo? watersking? what did they see? another boat? a floating log? i sit and i huff canned air and imagine it was me in the boat and that everyone else in the world was dead.

My parents took me to a boat show when I was a kid I remember two things about it, the "new boat smell" was overwhelming and I got nauseous. Also I saw an old guy who was missing both arms at the shoulders and I wondered how he could steer a boat or wipe his rear end or do anything at all.

I think the biggest thing there was 50 feet, so clearly just a boat show for the moderately wealthy. We just liked exploring things. I'm pretty sure dad was just there to find accessories.

Ah yes, once a year I don a captain's cap, white shorts, BASS boat shoes and a blue blazer, walk about giving horrible advice and looking smug. It's one of my favorite days.

Closest I've been is a few weeks on an LHA with nothing to do because our choppers weren't needed for poo poo and they didn't want to use the fuel to give our pilots more than a few perfect conditions takeoffs and landings. It was like the world's shittiest boat show/cruise

every1 should ask eric and brodie and rio etc about yachting yacht clubs are criminal organizations it can be fun once in awhile to get into a laser type sail boat. they are very cheap and fun recreation if you're into that sort of thing. other than that y ru buying a expensive boat if u arent gonna live on it idgi boat shows are an exercise in vanity worse than car shows and just totally vapid but fun to go and feel nauseated about. like a highschool ethics field trip

I bought a bass boat from a boat show, it was during the recession and dealers were offering pretty sweet deals. But I got bored with it after a few years and sold it. Owning a boat sucks IMO.
