I certainly wish they had not moved it back from the Marine Stadium. The in the water facilities there made the boat show a true boat show.
Many manufacturers and dealers had record sales at that location because of the ease of actually testing the boats one was considering.
Plus, I enjoyed the boat trips back and forth to the show with different people in different boats. Much better than cab rides or walking!
Plus, it was about $50,000 cheaper than the venue at the Convention Center quote, with more boats and more room.
