Anybody going? Last year's show was unspectaculer.

Yep, I will be there. Actually our Boat Club has a booth there this year. We
are conducting a membership drive and will be selling our 2004 fundraiser
tickets. We will be at booth A-60 just north of the information booth in the
center of the hall.

I will be there most days. I will be leaving early on the 7th because I have to
attend a Commodores Ball that evening. Any rec.boats regulars who are in the
Detroit area please stop by our booth and say hi.

P.S. you don't have to buy a ticket but we are giving away a 2004 Zodiac Cadet
310 inflatable and a Merc 9.9 as first prize.

Hope to see some rec.boats regulars there. Stop by and say hi, ask for Rick and
hopefully I will be there somewhere in the hall. It's going to be difficult to
spend 9 days there and not buy a new boat but I will be strong.

70 days to go..

I'm in New Baltimore, too far for me to go. Caught the one at Metro Beach
last year.

I stopped going to the Cobo show when it was no longer possible to park
under Cobo in the basement. The hassle of parking and getting to the
show isn't worth it. We had a nice boat and fishing show going at the
Silverdome for many years. Not a big show, mostly smaller boats and a
lot of fishing & electronic gear. Easy to get to and a nice way to
spend a few hours on a cold February day. That got moved to Ford Field
(Lions Stadium, downtown Detroit), so means the same hassle to get to &
from. I understand that there is still a small boat show at the
Siverdome, but not like it was before. Also, its in early January,...
a bit too early for most boaters.
