"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. |

I wish they'd have it in February when work slacks off a bit. And it's cold up here. I'd be glad to go! |

Beats me why they'd call it International, though. But I still want to attend. |
