What a disapointment! I have worked the boat shows years in the past, and have probably attended for the past 10 years and I remember 10 years ago the show was only on 1 level. If you were wondering what the economy is like in the boating industry this was a true testament to how much every company is hurting!! Was CWB even there??? I walked through the show twice and didn't see them or Supra boats. (I could have been a little tipsy) Sports LTD as always had a big showing, but overall I was very bummed out. I did speak with the VP of Malibu for a while and I think the Axis line will keep them above water, but my question is where does everyone see the industry in three years? Who will survive? Anyone else go to the show? What are your thoughts?
