We went yesterday (Saturday) crowds and lines to see the larger boats that we were interested in got longer as the day wore on, but we saw what we needed to see. We downsized a few years ago, now thinking bigger again. I don't do an inventory, but it seemed like more big boats (30' plus) than in previous years. Some inflatables, but no dinghies, kayaks, canoes, etc. Fine by me. Now that more manufacturers are installing electronics instead of dealers, it seemed like few of these booths too. Best laugh was the guy selling auto-retract shore power reels. $650 for the reel, OK. But he almost seemed serious when he said $5-$7K for installation. And he could do it a lot quicker than my local marina.
