$7 was the going rate yesterday. And - yes I have bought a boat at the boat show twice.

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.

Don't buy any drinks tomorrow. Just look for the big blue offensive motorhome and we'll take care of you
