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.

I'm sure tomorrow will be much busier. Most people that can afford a boat have a job and are working on Fridays.

I'm wondering how many times you will get asked tomorrow..."why do you let that douchebag GRADS post on HotBoat?"

So far your name has not been brought up. But another members name was brought up. But I wasn't listening to the guy who brought it up so it doesn't matter lol

Guess you're not as well known as you think you are.

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.

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.

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!

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

You were nodding your head like you were listening to me!

Sorry I missed ya Cig. What time you show? You were smart enough to get there after the models!
