That drive is the Shit right there. Just a lot of pretty pennies to buy one. Wish I had the coin to get one of those instead of the SCX anchor I am dragging. Don't get me wrong I love the SCX it just scrubs a ton of speed.

No bad blood to speak of, but commander is not even close to keeping up with cobra standards, not to mention ethics!

Rant over, carry on

OIC.
Im not privy to that kind of info. From an outsider looking in, I think both makers have great designs and models.
Wish I could be at the show this year to check out all the builders there.

I'll do a little write up on the show when the show's over. It was a little slow today for sure. After talking to Bob Brown, seems Fridays are historically slow. Tomorrow should be a lot busier.

Got to talk to a lot of people today I didn't have a chance to talk to yesterday. Some interesting perspectives and info from some very credible people in the business. Was good to spend some time with and talk to some old friends and some new ones.

Booth city sure seemed busy today, lot of people in that area. Looked to me like a good amount of activity there for sure.

I don't have the stats on attendance today, but Thursday was around 700 I understand. Had to be at least double that amount today but I think we were all expecting much more. Tomorrow will tell.

Ran in to a old friend Andy Holte at the show. Andy is now working for Wozencraft Insurance. Perfect fit for both Andy and Wozencraft, Andy knows boats and boating. You're not gonna pull the wool over his eyes. I didn't get Andy's contact info but I will tomorrow. Wozencraft can insure just about any type of boat in 30 states. And Andy knows the boating industry extremely well. Just makes sense. I wish Andy well in his new venture, but I'm sure it will work out well for both of them. Congrats Andy, we wish you and Wozencraft the best of luck.

I hope he still has Stacy Lund working for him still. This is a girl I've known since high school......great girl!

[Cigalert]

Good seeing you guys yesterday.

I didn't have a camera so if I could have a pic wishlist from some people with cameras that will be at the show today....

There is a pretty cool little....I don't know...computer system that's on a premier toon. 7" touchscreens on driver and passenger side. Driver side displayed a rear facing camera that was mounted on the port side of the stern. Passenger side had some sort of menu screen up. I really should have asked questions.

The water pick ups on the M-41 were badass. Nice groove coming off the bottom of either side of the stern to a manually adjustable height water pick-up.

The fasteners on the nordic 28ss windshields are sweet.

The M29 has a bitchen interior. Both material and colors were killer.

The carpet of the stancraft bennington had a really cool feel to it. Seemed rugged but plush.

I think you should go with my idea. Get the towable/inflatable guys to bring some sort of chairs over and make some theater seating for your new 4 TV setup. Call it cross advertising.

Oh, and the booth looks good too.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

On a side note, I ordered the chicken strips at the food court and even though they had displays showing some of the items rotting away in their deli case catacombs they actually dropped in fresh fries and chicken strips to order. I was pleasantly surprised.

I wouldn't necessarily call me credible but the compliment is well received! :D

So that's why I can't afford a boat? I go on Fridays! Paid and expensed to be there. :D

I am. Will probably go something older. Don't need all the crazy technology for teaching my kids.

[GRADS]

A big Thank You to HotBoat for all the coverage!

[HB Vic]

Almost home. Got the Moho out just in time. The booth gets shipped back to my office.

What a weekend. We're beat. Probably post the pics tomorrow. Strangest thing I saw was a drive anchor. Just can't believe they are selling that. I've seen people drop their outboards in the sand and use them as an anchor, but I just can't imagine doing that to an Outdrive. I cringed big time.

Anyway, all in all I think it was a success. For us anyway. Several builders also said they were happy and will be building boats as a direct result of the show.

Attendance today was actually pretty good. I'll get the final numbers from NMMA and post them. Right now I'm gonna shower and sack out :D

Scarab boats??? Nothing but rollcage boats...not too sure that's worth the drive.....see if anyone else registers...

Stats for hotboat.com weekend at the show:

New members signed up:

Thu 35
Fri 38
Sat 116
Sun 111

Total 300

Garb:

Free T's shirts 600
Coozies 1000
Stickers 700

We're pretty much wiped out on the for sale hotboat.com garb. I may have admin close the store for a little bit until we get a restocking order in place.

Pretty much our goal for the weekend. I'm sorry to those who didn't get a XL shirt today, we ran out of XL's around 3pm today. We still have a good chunk of S, M, L, & XXL. So look for more freebies at the next event. I believe I may still have XL's in storage, I'll check sometime this week.

Other than covering the show, our goal this weekend was to get the word out that hotboat.com is back in business. I think we succeeded on that level. I talked to many people who still didn't know we were back up and running. So that was good.

Welcome to all our new members. Don't be shy, post in a thread or start a new thread. Glad to have you here.

I also met several very interesting people who I hope to collaborate on in the near future to bring our member some real good boating information.
