Speaking of Yellow.. Hey Tom! What was that yellow offshore boat
again??

Seaway.

Here's what I was talking about in terms of it being a Fortier 26
clone.

Except that Seaway had a lot more rise in the bow... But it is a very
similar boat. I thought it was an inboard though?? Hummm

Anyway, it was a nice boat, but at $100,000 it was a little steep...

Is this the hartford show? It never much impressed me. The new haven
show was always better. In the good old days. The New England Sportsman
Show, though, was always the biggest and best in the area.
Blah, blah, blah.. we know... and last time you were up here, heating
fuel was 15 cents.. What's the difference, a room full of boats is a
room full of boats..
A room full?

That's a boat show? A room full of boats? Sounds like a dealer's showroom.
How many boats were at that show?

:)
Gotta admit though. That was funny.

It was amusing.

And it's not far from the truth - almost everybody at this years show
downsized quite a bit or only brought half of what they brought last
year.

The Convention Center is half the size of the Boston Convention Center
(at a guess - not much smaller than half) and it was 80% full of boats
and displays. I heard that the Boston show this year was much smaller
too, so that's a fairly good barometer.

Next week will be the real tell tale - Providence is a major show and
from what I've been hearing, dealers there have downsized also.

Don't know - we'll see next weekend.

The Boston show I remember was at a different facility, probably long
gone by now... :)

The old facility was a two story affair and fairly large. The new
facility is in the same general area, but single story.

Gorgeous place though and it wouldn't be unrealistic to describe it as
cavernous. Last year when I went, they had a fully rigged Maxi racer
in there with a 95 ft mast - the roof of the place was a good 20 feet
away from the top of the mast.

Would you want to be seen with an aging hippie looking like he just
finished a month's Thunderbird bender and looked like a hobo?

Thought not. *:)

Not fair, I showered and even bought new shoes for the trip last
night! *Yeah, all the boats were red or black... T didn't like either,
and to be fair, the one I saw was not Fugly, it was a nice Lund...
Tom didn't like it though, it was black. I thought it looked nice in
black...

"Black" you say? *Like most of his digital pics?

I'm surprised he didn't flash plastic at it just to take it out and
ditch it in a snow bank for a photo op.

Byte me. *:)

You know what they say, there are only two colors for a boat hull -
white and black and who the hell would want a black boat.

Uh, what about powder coating?

What about it?
