Paul I was there last night. I was pretty disappointed really, show seemed considerably smaller than past years. Dealers I saw: B&B Marine - Malibu Dealer Viking Marine - Cobalt Dealer KC Marine - Bayliner & Tahoe Dealer Bruce Marine - Crownline Dealer Blue Springs Marine - Ebbtide Dealer. I assume you are most interested in wakeboat dealers. And the only one there was B&B Marine the Malibu dealership. They have been in business for a long time, so I'm guessing they have the reserves to stickout this downturn, certainly positioning themselves to catch the majority of new wakeboat sales in the KC area being the only dealer left. They had the new 23ft vRide (in all red). They had a sweet Wakesetter VLX, and were showing music videos on the MaliView. They also had a flat screen monitor mounted to the tower of the boat showing the same video feed....pretty neat. Note that we lost a few wakeboat places this year: Nautique/Tige dealership went under this year Supra/Moomba dealership went under this year We've never really had a Mastercraft dealership that i know of....i think driport in STL is the closet. Overall show was very small, we did it in about an hour. (Message edited by tj_in_kc on February 15, 2009)
