The New England Boat Show is officially over, this morning we broke down our booth and put it away for next years show! The show was a great success being about %40 larger than last year, drawing in crowds by the thousands! They offered a wide array of activities and seminars to keep one busy for days. Back from last year was their remote control sailboat pond with 5 fans powering your vessel through the course. It was a challenge to get your hands on those Remote Controls and have a try at it, but it was well worth the wait. This year the boat show added the Power Boat docking challenge, a remote control twin screw scale model of what seemed to be a 65 Viking. Mission: Bring the boat in through the narrow inlet, back her down into the slip, and power back out of the harbor. The captain with the fastest time took home a weekend stay at the Westin Hotel.
We thank everyone for coming out and saying hello. Remember to look for the show again next year and come visit our booth to see why we are the smart alternative to boat ownership!
Speaking of new and Shiny Boats, last week we put in an order for 8 new boats to add to the fleet!!!! We looked high and low for fuel efficient yet spacious boats that will allow you enjoy your time on the water and not worry about a huge fuel bill at the end of the day. We found the answer with Hurricane. They manufacture bow rider deck style boats with all the creature comforts one would expect for a great day on the water. Each boat will have plenty of room for the whole family, and some friends! We are expecting delivery of the new boats Early to mid April with them being active int he fleet around the middle of May.
Keep your eyes open, and don't worry, each club should see at least 1 of the news boats!
