what is the best airport to fly into. Burbank?

LAX or Burbank would be fine, whichever gives you the best price too.

Burbank is easier (less traffic). Distance is about the same LAX and Burbank.

This secret is either going to go big or not so big. If it goes big, you absolutely wont miss it LOL.

If it goes not so big, we'll be directing traffic so you won't miss it.

Either way, it should be pretty cool.

Unfortunately I have a little experience with trade shows. They always seem to be a battle. Especially when they haven't done what you're asking them to do before :D ....that was a hint lol

The LA Boat Show is less than a month away. Rumor has it hotboat.com will be there in force. Rumor also has it there will be swag for new sign ups. And swag for people who visit our booth and give us a shout out anywhere on social media.

This is the largest boat show in the West. Don't regret not going, show up and pick up your bumper sticker, coozie, or T shirt for new sign ups. I only ordered 1000 of them so better get there early :D

Our booth # will be posted soon.

See you at the show.

The LA Boat show is only a couple weeks away.

Hotboat.com will be giving away promo T-shirts and coozies. In order to get one of these fantastic shirts and coozies you have to do the following:

1. Stop by our booth and show us you are a current member of the site with at least one post under your belt.
2. Sign up for www.hotboat.com (http://www.hotboat.com) on the spot. We will have ipads ready for you to do so.

I'll post pics of the shirts and coozies a little later.

(Shirts and coozies are limited to one each per current member or one each per newly signed up member)


What better excuse to stop by the biggest boat show on the West Coast!!

See you there.

Are they T-shirts? Or is a tank-top an option? Technically all six of us share clothes. However, we will be needing 6 coozies! We don't share our alcohol. ;)

These are giveaway shirts, that means they're free. That also means they're not the top quality shirts Wendi has been selling. So if you want a nice shirt, buy one (We'll still give you one of these). I'm kinda stuck on the orange cozies, so I bought 1,000 more :D And around 1,000 of these stickers in various sizes and a couple different colors.

I knew there was a boat show thread somewhere lol.

I will update this thread tomorrow morning as soon as we get there. Looks like Verizon is strong so we shouldn't have any trouble posting.

I haven't seen the numbers yet, but from the sheer number of trailers parked out back today, it really seems to me like this show is ramping up to be one of the bigger ones in several years. But that remains to be seen.

The first thing that gets your attention as you walk in to the main hall is the DCB and Teague displays. The red M41 is massive and nearly blocks all of the other boat displays behind it. But I assure you, there is much more to see behind that monstrous red beauty. Just to the right of DCB is Teague Custom Marine. Teague's display is also amazing.

We saw some absolutely beautiful boats there today. Our own Interceptor Custom Boats will also be displaying one of their beautiful deck boats and more.

If you haven't been to the LA Boat Show in awhile, in my opinion, this year would be the year to return. I'm wont say its the LA Boat Show of yesteryear, but its definitely not the boat show of a year or two or three ago.

Our plan is simple. Give out as many free t-shirts as possible LOL. All you have to do is show us you're a hotboat.com member, or sign up on the spot, and you'll get a free shirt.

So hop in your truck and head down to the boat show :D
