Every time I've gone to the boatshow, I have always learned somethng new., I was a novice boater with a small affordable inflatable. Wanted the same things on my boat, but couldn't afford them, I took notes of their structures and materials and hand manufactured my own accessories until I could afford them. They may have not looked like a factory production, but they were functional. Not only that, after snowing outside and wanting the winter to disappear, the Boatshow is the only place you can go to feel enthusiastic about summer's arrival..
