Default Chicago Boat Show

Well, it's here. Who is all going and what days? A group of us are going Wed. night the 16th around 5:30 or so when the crowd is smaller so we can get a good look at the boats without the long lines. I think the wife and I are going Sat. later afternoon as well. It sounds like there should be a pretty nice display this year. Hammer

Yes. The main ones that will be there are :

Shogren Performance Marine who represents Fountain www.chicagofountain.com

Grand Sport has added Donzi to their lineup this year as well.

The wifey and I will be going, not sure when. Possibly Friday during the day when crowds are smaller. Might be haulin' the little ones with us?

I am going to drool at the Fountains, the wife wants to see the Formula's. I figure if I look at it new, then in 5-10 years I can afford it when it is used.
