We stopped at the ***boat booth at the show . My kids got stickers , they wanted $2.00 for a keychain floater .All the other places were giving them away .I know they said they don't make any $ from us readers but don't nail us at the shows.

It would have been cool if they at least had some freebies for subscribers!

The only freebe you get is the t-shirt.
Oh, wait. They say you get those free, but they just never seem to show up in the mail. Hmmmm.

Every time i have stopped by the Hot Boat booth, it always seems like the people manning the booth are bored and could care less about the visitors to the show. Ask a question and they give you a "why are you bothering me" look, tell them your a subscriber and they just give you a "thats nice now run along" attitude. no freebies nothing, not even for the kids, no not the adult type, but the real kids. I like the magazine but the customer service stinks. Mike VG

I know, I'm way to "pro" Hot Boat, but I go to the show planning to renew my subscription,so I can get my t-shirt in person. They gave me the shirt, some stickers and the 2.00 key chain with my renewed sub. My buddy did the same thing and they gave him an extra t-shirt for his daughter. I thought they were real cool, maybe early on Sat. morning they hadn't got bored and surly yet wink .

At my booth for the WorkBoat show. We had free beer. Most everyone did. Especially Fridays! ***boat had nothing to give out? You Cali boys don`t know shit about advertisement. Of course freebies do sometimes go along with beautiful women.
can`t remember which manufacturer it was. They had the hammer and bell deal. Ring bell get shirt. Cool. I think it was Cat but could have been detroit or even Mack. Just like at the fair.
