Just got back from the show at the Dunes. $8 for parking. $5 to get in after five o clock. Eliminator was the only performance manufacturer there, all the rest were huge yachts and Boston Whalers. Oh well, thought I would share.:)

It was cold and windy. My wife dressed my kid like she was going to the beach. I was impressed by the guy selling the most stongest glue. Bonds instantly and superior strength.
There was a 25' Daytona there with canopy's that I liked. It had a 575 and a Superchiller.;)
What else?

Was the booth with the Ocotopus Coolie Cups there? They are so cool, they stick almost any surface of your boat (maybe more of a river item)
How about the box anchor guy, those are cool anchors!
:D

For a guy with almost 900 posts and has never owned a boat, you sure are getting mouthy in here. Porpoise Boy, I resemble that comment. :D I guess that's what happens when you take a real rough water boat and put it on a smooth lake. Lets drag that Daytona out into the rough stuff and see whats up big guy. Want-to-be cat boy.:p

Sure funny how an area code can make someones shit smell better then the others. If my memory serves me correctly, you grew up in the 909 and actually lived here not to long ago. :p

REAP has more point of view on that subject than I do.....949 or 909 doesn't matter to me, I grew up there and loved it!:)

I'm happy for you dude. I can't wait to actually see you out there in your own rig. It's kinda funny that a guy like yourself that loves this stuff as much as you do, doesn't have a boat. Just promise to wait for my porpoising ass when we hit the smooth stuff. ;)
