Only 7 weeks until boat show

Post by jhalb »

7 weeks to go until the St. Louis Boat Show. This is like spring training for me in boating. I know it won't be long after the show before I start preparing for the new season. :D

Ahhh the power of positive thinking. Seasonal boaters seem to have perfected the art.

We are about the same amount of time away from a local boat show in Ft. Wayne and I feel the same way about that one. Immediately after that, it is time to starting getting the electronics out of the closet, powering them up and making sure they work, and putting everything that I just took off in the fall and brought home to clean, back in a container ready to be loaded back on in the spring.

Thanks for reminding me how close that boat show really is.

Season is short, we make the best of it.

I am conflicted ... not sure how to take that.....

YAY - its only 4 weeks to TIBS!!! :D

TIBS happens when it's friggin' cold out, snow and ice on the roads, everything covered in salt, and a really sucky time of the year. And that's only 4 weeks away... :cry:

All righty then. So what does everyone have in their sights to get at the show/s? Any new toys/gadgets you want to share with the rest of us?

I look for ideas for my boat and all the new gadgets. I did make the connection to buy my Trojan two years ago at the boat show.
