I really like that Ultra 27 Shadow, white open bow, that is going to be the next one I think.

The boat with the 2 motors with 2 blowers on each motor that had fuel line that looked like a DAMN RADIATOR HOSE
That, plus the $1.1m Sea Ray that had granite countertops, a flatscreen plasma tv, and a surround sound system. That's the life for me, folks...
As long as my crew is all cheerleaders, of course

I saw that
The upperdeck Hottub on the House(ship)boat.
I can be a tough critic at times, but I really didn't see a lot that made my socks roll up and down this time. Dave had some absolutely epic gear, and a phenomenal booth. I'll take one of each.
The big MTI kicked ass, as did the hot rod Schiada I saw.
Tomorrow is picture day. I will be taking a bazillion hopefully.
I also liked the look of some of the JC Tritoons. Remedial, but that is a good way to get that job done. Cool actuated swimstep for getting fatties into your ride too.
Overall though, I was underwhelmed.
I don't know if you guys are aware of it, but according to those who know, another show is going on right now that is bigger than the LA show, the Houston show or the New York show. It is the Tulsa Boat Show in Oklahoma. The main pavilion is over 450,000 square feet. Ugly John's has $7M in 25 boats, including a Carver 570 that is on sale for only $1,020,571 with Twin 675 hp diesels. Word is that most of them are sold already. This is considered the 5th largest event in the nation according to one national group. The only thing I know for sure is that I am going to spend tomorrow there. There is a bass boat called a Gambler that is in high demand. It has electronically controlled SS trim tabs recessed into the bottom of the hull. I got check that out.
Less than 100 people there yesterday between 1 and 3pm....Guess I hate crowds!
Im not a cigarette or large cat type of boat fan, but DCB had some nice stuff, very nice rigging. I liked the 21 schiada river cruiser too,it was cool talking to paul pfaff about his old racing days, and all his new motors,also chatted with the guys from CP performance about how they make berkeley jet drives compared to the old days and also enjoyed checking out all the bitchen motors, talked with the guys from lifeline as well, took all my measurements so I can just call and place my order when im ready.
Hands down the best La boat show ive ever been to, weekdays are the way to go. I actually got to see everything this time!
you guys crack me up.
We are all boaters here so we can just assume that you were there for the drinks and chicks....
I meant hardware and not those aftermarket bolt-on thingys that the girls get
