go to the Laconia Daily Sun home page, and there is an ad for the show on the right side of the page. Bring the ad to the show and get $2 off the ticket, per the info at the bottom of the ad.

Here is a link to their page. http://www.laconiadailysun.com/

Hope to see you there, and I have no stake in the show!!!!

The background image for the Boat show website appears to have windmills on the water. If you reduce the foreground and look at the complete background there is another windmill behind it.

Yup...and the preponderance of boats at the show will not be sailboats. 'You suppose that photo originated from Europe?

"Windmills on the water", brings up this picture:

If this spanish company has its way, this could be a reality on the lake.

I don't know whose idea it was to put windmills for the background on the NH Lakes Region Boat Show website, but I LIKE IT! Maybe they know something that we don't know.

Sail boats and windmills...Spin Baby Spin..and let the four winds blow!

I think I'll go to the show and see what they have for new Kayaks.

Went to the show this morning. I expected it to be small and it was. We were in and out in 45 minutes. Mainly pontoon boats. Winnisquam Marine with their Premier line of pontoons had the best of the show.

Great boat...did you go pro xs or verado?

I can't wait until we get our new one as well. I have been all over Ryan about getting ours ready. The motor was back ordered 24 weeks but he pulled some major strings and it is arriving tomorrow. They are starting the custom canvas work this week.

I learned that the boat show was quite a success. Even though it had low numbers for turn out, people who attended were buying. Many Tritoon and Twotoons were sold. That is a good sign. It seems like the pontoon type of boating is really catching on in the Lakes Region. More are being sold than fiberglass boats. Some owners are trading in their performance fiberglass boats for performance Tritoons. Interesting.

BroadHopper · 03-28-2013, 12:49 PM

Everyone must be skiing as there was a huge turn out at Gunstock. I wish the show would open on a Friday or Saturday evening, I would have browse around after a fantastic day on the slopes.
