blindmullet Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Has anyone been to the boat show in sydney? What are the best days to go? I imagine the weekend would be packed and probably the first and last day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I haven't been for three years but might try and head up if the weathers bad next weekend. Its a big venue so never to busy to have a look around, trouble I found on the quieter days was all the dealers keep pushing to get your details so they can keep hassling you with phone calls after the show. Its combined with the dive show which also interests me this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I used to enjoy it on the Friday. I don’t like crowds. ? I use to work in the city and head down at lunchtime and stay. I had an understanding boss. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill373737 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I went last year on the Friday and it wasn't too crowded. I'm planning to go this year on the Friday again - catch a few of the presentation sessions and hopefully get a boat show bargain on a new sounder.

kingie chaser Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I stopped going to boat & car shows because what the point of paying for looking at stuff you cant afford! Of course if you have a wad full of cash then go nuts ? Enjoy that new ICC venue though, its pretty cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
