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:

I really would not be good with it unless it made financial sense. The scratches, zippers, jean rivets and belt buckles would require me to be sedated for the weekend. I apologize if anyone has their boat on display and just read that last sentence. :DQuote:

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:
