"The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) will merge its
Marine Aftermarket Accessories Trade Show (MAATS) with the
International Boatbuilder's Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in 2010,
creating the recreational boating industry's single largest trade
event...."

Giant boat shows merge, and it's going to be in Louisville Ky next
year. It's about a three hr. drive from me, but it'll be worth the
trip.

Ouch.... 7.5 hrs for me, but it really seems like a lot more
affordable venue. I didn't see a date set.... too early?

That's nothing.
the biggest boat show up here is in Toronto....in February.
A 2.5 *day* drive each way over snowy, icy roads.
