Martin Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Each year I look foreword to the Boat show. I simply enjoy being around boats and seeing what is on display. My dad would take me and now I take my son. I just love the excitement on his face as we enter. Just like me he enjoys looking with the intermittent day dream of owning a 67ft Bertram all decked out. The show is all ways a good excuse to buy a new fishing outfit to add to the 40 other rods and reel you may have and report it back to the wife it was a bargain. This year I am in the market for some new bucket seats, a new sounder and some outriggers. Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafmo Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I definately will be there as it is the only show of any value at Darling Habour with cut price deals and heaps of 'how to' displays. The only problem is that my wife confiscates my credit card so my cunning kit cops a belting. GAFMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numbnuts Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Be prepared guys. I went yesterday, and it was very good ,there are some impressive new sounder/gps units out that I am in the market for.But it is not a cheap day out....$19 for 3hours parking..$17 entry fee..$14 M7/M4 tolls ,and I havn't even started to shop. But apart from that it is worth seeing some of the shmik new gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGenius Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I went last night and there was hardly anyone there, had a good browse around at everything. There was a TLD25 combo at one of the small shop displays for $239 and a few shimano sp combo setups for $99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
