My son and I went to the show last night. I was hoping for more fishing displays, we did catch the mojo rig demo at the bass tank.
Those guys doing the wake boarding were getting banged up pretty hard on that ramp contraption between the two pools of water. We saw many a good crash.
You look at those new boat prices and it makes you realize what a great deal used boats offer the consumer.
How many noticed that not a single new outbaord was sporting an Evinrude or a Johnson? Nothin but merc's except for one outfit from Logan that had Evinrudes and Johnsons on display. I have always been a Johnson fan back in the OMC days and have had good performance and durability out of these outboards.
Bombardier is really pushing the new E-Tec two stokes this year with a 30 minute infomercial that I have seen on OLN. They claim that thier E-tec two strokes are cleaner burning than the four strokes, lighter weight and faster acceleration. I have always liked a two stroke for that awesome hole shot power.
The 250 horse Merc Verado on some of those boats looks big enough to sink the ship.
Just my 2 cents worth. Have fun at the show!
