Default Columbus Boat and Travel Show

A full report:

$7 admission, $4 to park.

Had very low expectations, but why not go...it's the middle of winter and we
needed a boating fix. A couple we know called and wanted to go so we met up
with them. They are shopping for a SeaRay 24.

Laughed our asses off with our friends.

Didn't run into very many people we knew.

NO BAYLINERS
(WTF was up with that? Usually the place is crawling with them)

Mucho idiots in full RANGER/TRITON/Whatever regalia (my favorite was the
display of basshole boats that had a tv set up showing big time wrestling
videos ).

Plethora of mullets.

We play a little game at boat shows (and flea markets) called "count the
mullets" We give double points if the are wearing full bass idiot regalia
AND sport a mullet.

A really nice 27 Crownline Cruiser that MrsBomar and I really liked. Knock
30K off the price and I'd buy it.

2 nice Eliminators that were displayed by the most disinterested people on
earth.

Mucho $4 beers drank by us.

The usual party barge pontoon with the 350 MPI w/ Imco thru hull.
Scads of other pontoons.

Best part of show: My son giving Sizzle Marine (Baja Dealer) **** for
stating Baja 25 Outlaw had K Planes when it was really Bennetts. The sales
geek tucked tail between legs and said "I guess you are right"
