I saw an ad for the Boston Boat Show. It got me thinking ??? Should I go
to the show? Is there a reason to pay for a chance to spend?
It is $12 dollars. Years ago, I would go to the show and there would be
deals so that I would save more than the boat show admission.
What do you sailors think?
Good question.
I'm in the market for a depth sounder for my sailboat and our boat show runs
Feb 15-18.
I may call around and see if the marine supply stores will offer the same
modest discounts at the store as they will give at their booth.
I find the shows a crowded, noisy environment to try and get advice. During
the show week the stores are usually dead and the few clerks left to man it
look lonely.
