Guest MRS WATTO Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hi All Just wondering who attended the boat show this weekend and what did everyone think of the show. My opinion it was average and only 1 boat caught my eye. I actually loved the sailfish $213,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rzep Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah, Peita and I went there this afternoon and we both thought that it was BORING. I don't think that we will go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsconst Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I reckon the only boat show worth attending is the Sydney International Boat Show at Darling Harbour. I think its in August sometime. As long as you avoid the peak times (weekend) it is great. Heaps to look at and great deals on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris 55 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 We went out on Sunday and the best value for money "fishing" boat seemed to be the 6.1 TABS IMO lots of flash yuppy fibreglass and a reasonable range of "family" fishing boats, a wide range of alloy also was OK for browsing around but might have been better if it was spread out more rather than have them so close it was hard to walk between boats in some spots Was hoping for more accessories stands but ........... The red Icee's were good Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) Was hoping for more accessories stands but ........... Chris Chris , Totally agree with your comment. For those into trailer boats checking out the latest gadgets is always interesting. The No. decreased this year to make way for additional boat displays. But did see a 12V underwater colour camera with 30mt cable to the screen for $499.00. Looked like good quality gear , also a 12V to 240V converter , it was about the size of a beer can. Think it was around $60.00 Having said that , anyone looking for a power boat under 6.0mt , there was heaps to look at. I enjoyed the walk around , bumped into the Swordies & had a bit of a chat.

hustler57 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 hey there, yeah i went on saturday, and gotta say that i wasnt very impressed either, rather boring, with only 1 tackle shop, i walked away feeling very depressed after seeing a twin hulled boat on a trailer inside with a price tag of i think $220,000. i wanted it.
