"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?

Sounds like it might be a great motorcycle ride from DC.

Yes, it does, doesn't it?

I don't know. On second thought, 613 miles would be a rough day's
ride. Doable, but not 'easily' doable. Especially just for a boat
show.

Aw, c'mon guy. where's your "Iron man" spirit?

Actually, I'm wondering if this is a 'boat show' or a combination
'boat building' and 'aftermarket accessories' show.

Not sure, but probably some of both.

I couldn't find anything about the boats to be shown, only aftermarket
and boat building stuff.

It sounds to me like the worlds largest and temporary Cabella's store,
then.


Maybe more will manifest about the show as time gets closer to the
event?
