Default Boat shows

I have never been to a boat show mostly because I cannot imagine ever
buying a new boat. I was talking to someone and he mentioned paying
to get into a boat show and it didnt occur to me till later that that
was weird. You have to PAY to go look at merchandise? Does that make
any sense? I am the kind of guy who will not wear clothing with a
logo because I think the company ought to pay me to advertise for them
but paying just to look at merchandise seems truly strange. Is this
true? Do you pay to go into boat shows?

If you had bought a boat from a dealer, he'd probably give you free
tickets. But other than that, I've never been to a free one. Except for the
model boat display at the Smithsonian.
