Went to the boat show Thursday at noon with my buddy who's up from the
British Virgin Islands.
Seemed to be the same old..same old. Lots of motor boats with only a small
amount of sailboats.You'd think a shift would start after the gas price
scare last year.
I was mostly checking out side console type aluminum boats as an upgrade
from my Yukon 15.
Prices still seem hefty.... at least three times what I paid for the Yukon.
I'd better wait & see what's left in my wallet after I purchase a new SUV
next month.
Just to make it interesting, we had quite a snowstorm that day...starting as
we drove out.




The oil companies sucked pretty much as much as they could out of us
last year, so they may wait a bit before trying again. I filled up last
week for $1.69 a gallon.
