N3 Boat Show Indy

Alright fellas, another boat show season is upon us. Our show here in Indy starts this Friday the 20th and runs through Sunday the 1st. Anyone who wants to come hang out and think warm thoughts come on down!! We completely revamped the booth this year so it should be freaking cool.

Obviously all pro shop stuff will be the best pricing of the season as well as special deals on Oakley glasses and 15% off all normal purchases from me during the week of the show only.

Like I said, if anyone is around come hang out!! We expanded some stuff and will have some resto parts and things down there to show off as well. No 200 DD on the floor though although we will have a used one staged back at the shop.

Might have to rascal the brown boat on the show floor to promote our restorations next year

I will check bud.

Edit: Negative as far as that combo goes in stock.

Gary, I do need to get some new Sperrys this spring come to think of it.

At Miami there were 3 boats,2 desks,one table and 3 "brochures".
Nothing else. I took a "brochure",it's 67 pages,Keith will be
busy scanning that one. Oh yea 2 salesmen and one plant----

Ha, wore boat shoes today, and it snowed 6".

Hey look a "Behl" sighting.... Good to see ya Steve.. Hope all is well??

Our neighbor works at a boat dealer here,they have 3 locations here and sell everything from jet ski's on up. He tells us the show is a hassle,it is very hard to even get around and parking is awful even for them, you have assigned times to drop off boats,the workers there have to set them in place,you don't touch anything,very expensive. Maybe they know their clientele?

Its all Unions contracts so I've experience before. Very big hassle

And so it seems nothing changes. worked many boat shows in the 80's, always had to grease the union guys to get any priority.

Yup, I've set up booths in Chicago (McCormick) as well as NY,NY. I thought NY would be bad but Chicago is worse.

Poor Zack's threads always get ruined

Pete will be all over it.

lol, none yet but we have probably 6-8 excellent prospects from the first weekend.

Not really an easy thing to sell.
