Indian Lake boat show....

[Indian_Lake_Bum]

My original post was very pic HEAVY and I guess i am not allowed to post that many pics in one post so I'll give you only a teaser.

Went to the boat show yesterday since the wife had to work today and tomorrow.  Must say friday was a LOT more relaxed than the normal saturday event with elbow to elbow people that seem to act if they were never taught any manners.  There was a lot of nice boats at all of the dealers but nothing that made me want to run out and grab my checkbook and strike up a deal.  Guess we bought a great boat the first time and haven't found a thing that we like better.

Spend A Day had the Bennington "Beast" the 30X floating at their fuel docks......10 foot wide and 30 foot long powered by twin 300 yami's......yeah it's impressive!   Sorry no test rides.....bummer :wacko:   :wacko:

Did shoot a few pics of their display.....the 67 sea ray floating in a pool in the center of a ring of Bennington's.  They had a Q model with a 300 mercury that was pretty sweet but for just over 92K it should be.  Can't forget the bennington hanging from the ceiling upside down......or the golf cart version of a sea rayder jet boat.

The "Beast":

The Bennington tent:

Like the seat colors:

YES it's actually hanging from the ceiling!

Part 2:

The "Duck Hunter" special

Berkshire has a power tilt tower boat there and a super sport model with a bright colored interior:

Starcraft was showing off the new balckout......everything is blacked out including the toons:

Not sure about the half painted look from the front though

And the starcraft party barge with 4 bar stools and a power wine/glass storage unit that comes out of the rear bar top

Part 3

Manitou had a boat all lit up with led lights everywhere and the big flip seat in the back that becomes a bed or double wide seat for watersports viewing that was very nice

Qwest had a pretty slick power top that worked as a bimini and a cover all in one.  It has a section up front that unzips and rolls back like a moonroof in your car for all the sun worshipers.  The you can unzip the sides and lower it to become a cover.

So all in all after looking at all the new offerings for 2016 I can still say that I am happy with the boat we have and unless something really amazing comes along we will be keeping it for years to come.

Brian, I hope you don't mind that I merged the threads. Thanks for the pics too.

That's fine with me.  

I tried to put all of the pics in one and the must be a limit to the amount of pics per post and it kept denying me.  After the 3rd try I gave up and did the multiple posts......I was hoping that it was ok to do it that way

 

[cwag911]

I just thought it would be easier if it's all in one. Either way is fine and the pics are great.

Spend A Day is continuing the boat show prices and bonus bucks on new boats this weekend.  If you are in the area and missed out on the boat show last weekend now's your chance to cash in.

Well, we went last Saturday, we did find the need to buy a new 22ssrx, 150 Suzuki, Yacht Club trailer.  That darn wife of mine was not happy with our 19' bow-rider anymore and demanded we get a new toon.  Who am I to argue?, about a new toon anyway.  Got the champagne color and scheduled to pick it up 3/26. CFW.  First post, don't see a clip to attach pics, oh well, will have many soon.

Matt,

Congrats on the new boat!  If you upload pics to your gallery, you can just copy the URL and attach them with your post.  There's a few ways of doing it, this is just how I do mine.
