Every year my wife and I travel down to Toronto to the annual boat show. We make a day out of it. We love to see the new boats and new features that the boat manufacturers have come up with. It is great to compare our boat and the newer models and see what upgrades we could make to ours. We also love the market place for boat products. Its nice to see the products in person to make a informed decision to purchase them or not. Much better then looking on line and ordering. Not to mention the discounts that are applied at the show. We always go with a list of items to check out and possibly purchase directly at the show. This year we moved into a new waterfront home and wanted a dock system. We had researched many dock companies prior to the show but it was not until we attended the show and actually saw the docks and spoke with the vendors that we purchased them. We also were in the market for a new dinghy and davit system for out boat. Once again the boat show came through and we were once again able to view these items in person as well as speaking with vendors to make an informed decision. The discounts we received were worth the trip alone! We further try to attend the show when there are lectures that we are interested in. We have heard many great lectures over the years and learned a lot in the process. All in all, the Toronto Boat show is a something that we look forward to every year and this year will be no different. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in boating. From the fisherman to the yachtsman, it has everything for everyone!
