There were no high performance boats and not a lot of foot traffic on sat night opening weekend. We were talking on the ride down what we thought the show would be like this year but boy what a disappointment. We should have skipped the show and went straight to dinner. Saw my sales guy and he said he was ready to go home on day two lol
Could this be another sign of things to come at the lake this summer??

With the economy's effect on boating I can't really see the Dealers justifying the expenses incurred to go to the show. As a businessman who participates in Trade Shows it's no surprise to me it's slow, last year we passed on one of our major Trade Shows and the feedback from people who went was we didn't miss much.
