Be careful when buying drinks at the boat show the booze has to be provided by the Mafioso. Back when the boat show was banging we use to go in large groups and the booze was flowing. Well one year (probably 2005) we go and the prices are outrageous but we're cool with it since we were all having a great time. Well all of our friends leave and MMA and I decided to get another drink before we leave for the night. So we go into a different hall and the drinks are each $3 cheaper in the other hall. So I ask the bartender why are the drinks a different price and she points to the price lists and says they should be the same price throughout the show. I am like that MoFo hide the price list and is charging whatever he wants. I went back, made a stink and got my back. So watch out ....when we were there Thursday he was running the bar. :sheep:Quote:

If you had a boat built, would you let a mfg use it for display at the boat show?

Yea, as long as no one was allowed to get in it. Wouldn't want to find out it was a kids jungle gym while on display.Quote:

In 98' my Eliminator boat was in the LA Boat show. First day we went. My wife couldn't stay and watch all the people getting inside and wearing watches and bracelets as they were leaning on the boat as they were looking in. I came back another day and was showing my buddy the motor. As I was putting up the engine hatch I got a weird look from the salesman who I didn't know. I told him its ok its my boat. Eliminator took care of the scratches. Worst part was that they sold many boats with my same colors and design. They took 5k off my price to use it in the show but I wouldn't do it again.Quote:
