My memories of the boat shows my father participated in include wheeling
the boats in on their trailers, protecting the fronts of the trailers so
no one would trip on them, arranging the boats, setting up tables, and
washing the boats every day. When I was a little kid, I'd have the job
of stamping the literature handouts. When I was a little older, I was on
boat wash detail, too.

Everything else was taken care of by the arena personnel.

In those days, the biggest boat I recall my dad "showing" was a 24-foot
cabin cruiser with twin Mercs.
