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.

Oh yes, I have friends there (Ft. Sauderdale. Homestead) , but it's
bad timing for me, Harry. October will be the start of harvest season
in the Midwest, and I'm going to be the proverbial "swamped" all the
way until December.

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!

That does seem a bit odd to have an Int'l boat show in L'ville, but
then again, there's the crowd from Kentucky Lake and the Ohio river
isn't far, and that leads to all kinds of river travelers etc.

Plus, Id say the vendors are hoping to take orders there for
deliveries in other places.

Beats me why they'd call it International, though.

But I still want to attend.

The Ohio River leads to the world via the Mississippi River, either
south to the Gulf of Mexico or north to the Great Lakes/St Lawrence
River. I've met some very serious boaters from Louisville and there
is certainly no shortage of old time disposable income in and around
that area.

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?

Here's some info about the IBEX Miami Beach show in October.

"General Show Info

Admission Policy

IBEX is a professional-only trade show specifically designed for those
engaged in the marine industry. No one under 18 years of age—including
infants—will be allowed into the seminars and exhibit halls."

Further:

Admission Policy

IBEX is for the TRADE ONLY, and is not open to the general public. You
must be directly involved in the marine industry to attend. A business
card showing your affiliation to the marine industry is required to
register."

From: http://www.ibexshow.com/attendee-registration.php

I changed my mind. I don't want to go. Maybe the Annapolis show would
be a better idea, although some shady characters go there.

That's nothing.

A 2.5 *day* drive each way over snowy, icy roads.

Well, I could still go I believe. I have a friend who is a boat
mechanic and has had a registerd marine business for over 30 years,
tags ID's etc, arn't really a big problem with advanced notices. I've
done that at the NAMM Show and have gotten in past the general public
with a large music store sponsorship.

But eh, I'll probably wait for Louisville.

I wanna go... I wanna go....
