Went yesterday. A good selection of bay boats there. They had all the regular brands you'd expect to see. There were 3 Blackjacks on display not far from the entrance. Lots of really nice boats just very pricey! My son wanted me to get the 24 ft BlueWave Purebay with the 300 Yamaha. He liked the sound system and clear livewell on the console??

I didn't even look at the prices on the Pursuit and Contender types, the bay boat prices gave me enough sticker shock.

I went last year and found it helpful to compare all the bayboats in one place.

The new ones gave me sticker shock and bought a 2014 xpress a couple months later.

It was cool, the 43' Everglades with 4 350s was dreamy.

They had some high prices but a few deals were reasonable.
If you like bay boats, it's a good visit.

I went last night to look at trolling motors....no trolling motors.


Overall it pretty much sucked. There were some nice Blackjacks and a very nice 45' Everglades

Just came back really enjoyed looking at the bay boats. Kinda picking out what we want in our perfect fishing setup. Honestly I was always a fan of the 24 foot bay boat but after looking.. for fifteen thousand cheaper I think the 22 gives you just as fishable of a boat and setup almost exactly the same.

Boat show winner for me was the 2200 purebay followed closely by the 22 foot nauticstar. Surprise contender was the 22 for sportsman.

My ranking was mostly decided off of fishing deck platforms configurations, storage and center console configurations.

I was there yesterday afternoon. I thought there were not a lot of people there from what I remembered. Last time I went was 9-10 years ago.
