We went to the Chantilly Boat Show last night at the Dulles Expo Center
near Dulles Airport and didn't come away very impressed. One of my main
goals was to hopefully get a look at the new Crownline open-bow boat -
either model 315 or 316, I don't remember what our salesperson at Shy
Beaver (James Creek, PA) said. Anyway, there was only ONE Crownline
dealer at Chantilly and he didn't have anything over 25' at the show and
stated he would probably not even order a 315/316 unless it was a
specific customer order. He then proceeded to (lightly) pressure me
into ordering one. Fat chance !

Lots of nice ski boats there - the wife really liked the 25' Malibu.
Nice floor design, plenty of motor (425hp 8.1L Vortec), and awesome
music - 13 speaker system.

I've heard the Bay Bridge show is pretty good. I'm going to try it this year.

Thanks for the info on the Chantilly show. I'd decided not to waste the time.
Now I'm glad I did.

My Marina, Harbor Cove in Deale, was supposed to have some Anglers there. Did
you look at them by any chance?
