Boston Boat Show this year?
 

Since I was away last year and away again for this summer at Trayder's Newport bash, I'm wonderin'...

Will the CSC.Com crew show up at the Boston Boat Show this winter? (I already have my kitchen pass in hand) [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I'll be there Hoop, just let me know what date/time works for everyone. A Saturday is probably best, how about 2/28 around 5:00pm?

Scott - you may want earlier in the day if you're going to the MSBA awards banquet (you got a fish weighed in right?) ... Time is good for me though [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Boston Boat Show this year?
 

Good point John, thanks for the reminder.

How about 3:00pm?

Re: Boston Boat Show this year?
 

The 28th at 3pm works for me!

Re: Boston Boat Show this year?
 

Guys I'm new to the group but intend on going to the show and would be glad to meet you.
3:PM on Saturday the 28th? Where? Rich

Re: Boston Boat Show this year?
 

Rich,
We meet at the SeaCraft booth. I think it's Hyannis Marina that's the dealer. See you there!

Re: Boston Boat Show this year?
 

Yep - but they don't like us that much... Seeing that we're not choking on the 70K for a new one

Re: Boston Boat Show this year?
 

Yeah John! But who cares!

We can climb all over their boats, determine that they are all overpriced, then boast about our rigs and then grab a couple cold Sam Adams' together!

Isn't that the best part of boat shows anyhow?!?! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Hey Guys,

I hope to see you guys next Sat, but warning, might be with wife and 3-year old daughter [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]. So, it may be a short visit. I usually go during a week night first to check out what i need to see and secretly buy!

On a side note, over many Boston boat shows i have got to know Jim Raftelis at Hyannis Marina pretty well. He is one of the good guys! But not a "classic" guy [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]. I sent him an email if we are welcome to meet at his booth.

Jim's response;

"Hey Nick, as i said before i have no problem with the c.s.c. guys coming to the booth to enjoy seeing and talking about a boat that they are very passionate about, it's great that they want to share their knowledge. I guess what i'm trying to say is everyone is
welcome to come, have fun, and enjoy themselves, but sympathize with the guy
working the show trying to pay the bills." - Jim R.

After the 10 hr/9 day show, he is all smiles when i drop off a bottle of OUZO. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

See you at the show! - Nick

I plan to be there 3 pm Saturday 28 th

Re: Boston Boat Show this year?
 

Going to head up as early as I can (depends on the wife's work schedule) to poke around but will meet up @ 3pm

Re: Boston Boat Show this year?
 

Well, it was a small turnout yesterday at the SC booth - John R, cSickNick, the dink, and myself. It was nice to meet the dink (Rich) and hear all about his project 23 - good luck and keep us posted. John and Nick, good seeing you guys again. The guys from Hyannis Marine (Jim and Steve) were nice enough to let us linger around as long as we wanted without getting the evil eye [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Hooper, did you ever make it to the show?

Re: Boston Boat Show this year?
 

Guys-

I am sorry I couldn't make it, I ended up working a double shift on Saturday and since I had to be back at midnight, something had to give. Overtime is at a premium this time of year and since I am feeding a wicked seacraft addiction, I need the cash!

It really sucks when life's responsibilities get in the way of BOATS!

I am glad that you guys had a good time and a few laughs I am sure.

Sorry I didn't get to meet you. Perhaps we can wet a line in the Spring.
It was good to meet and talk to Scott and everyone else and listen to the various ideas to better our boats.
I'm working on the logistics to go to the Dania flea market.
Is anyone looking to double up at a hotel to share costs?
