This weekend, we did not have any sporting events, so on Sunday, I went to the New England Boat Show at the Boston Convention Center. Even though it is still February, it is still nice to go to this show every year and start to get excited about the upcoming season. Upon first entering the show, one could tell how massive the show was, it could have taken days to see everything if one wanted to check out every booth. Around the perimeter of the expo center were accessories dealers and other service booths. These had the typical boating products such as boat cleaning products, as well as marine electronics, and many other accessories for boating. In the middle of the room was isle after isle of boats.
The booths at the show were good. It seemed however that the boats that were present at the show were more geared towards lakes or ocean cruising:not many serious fishing boats were there. I was disappointed not to see Seacrafts, , Contenders, or Southports which are some of the best center console fishing boats available. Despite this, there was still a good selection, and I would recommend going as it is open through next sunday. Overall, it was a good show, and it gave light to the upcoming fishing season!
