I went to the Raleigh NC boat show today and found myself to be more interested in rod holders, tackle, fishfinders, and rods than I was in boats. It just goes to prove one thing. (Forget the rest when you own the best) However; It was fun. Tim Heath / NC

I hope to be going to the Cleveland, OH. boat show, this is a huge boat show. It will be nice to just walk around and look at everything without the headache of dealing with the boats themselves except admire them, acctually these days very few of them. I will give extra attention the the Grady-White 180 Sportsman, traditional center console. Regards-Jack Graner. |

Tim I went to the Houston show today and I was exactly the same way. I mostly checked out the accessories, engines and fishing gear. I did check out some boats and took a long look at the new Montauk for ideas. Rex |

BW wasn't at the boat show this weekend. BW and GW will both be at the Raleigh Boatshow in Feb. But I still find myself checking out gear and accessories. What I would like to attend is a Classic BW show. Now that would be something to see. Tim Heath / NC |

Our boat show starts here in Seattle on Friday. I don't need anything but plan on spending a day kicking tires. I expect Whaler to be well represented. I like the idea of a classic show. Where & when? Dick |

I think it would be a great idea! There are classic shows around, however a BW Classic show would be nice. Tim |

Chuck, I am going for the comradery, friendship, good eating and drinking, and to see all of the different models. I haven`t seen alot of them up close. I am quite supprised at you`re ideas on Whalers. I use mine alot to fish for Walleye, Smallmouth, Stealhead, etc. in Lake Erie, if Lake Erie isn`t useing a boat I don`t know what is. I am not being pompass showing my boat, just going to have a hell of a time! Regards-Jack Graner. |
