Well kind of live.

I thought we were all meeting down there today. Probably a good thing no one showed up there weren't many boats on display.

I heard that all the vendor space was taken this year. That's a good sign.


We signed up to work the LSCN booth Sunday. Looking forward to seeing the show and saying Hi to some fellow LSCNers.

I'm amazed that they cart that 450SB around so much! I mean it was delivered to Colony, assembled for their show, torn back down, taken downtown again removing/installing the bridge. I don't think I'd want one thats been around the block that much! But I'm sure they know what they're doing. I mean if that is the same boat they even re-shrink wrapped it to haul it!
Also that crain looks like it could use some stabilizers! And the leverage thats on that thing! Thats some serious weight hanging out there! Wheres OSHA for the guys on the platform while its suspended? And the guy thats setting the keel blocks!

The 450 showed up by water fully assembled. This is the first time it was disassembled for a show. It's the only way to get those monsters to the show so you guys can see them.

The bridge does not get removed. The hard top, which is basically a huge radar arch bolts on and then wiring harnesses are attached. The helm is lifted off in one piece. It is also bolted in place and then wiring harnesses plugged in.

You can see the hard top on the deck in this photo.

Matt, are they offering the FREE COBO WiFi this year? Looking through the paperwork, its not mentioned.

Thats all i could afford, minus your wife TCG. Already have one and she can be expensive.
Add couple of 55 gallon drums to that pallet and you will have awesome water lounge for Poorman's .

It took a few attempts to connect but once it connected it was a pretty good connection. I was also outside the hall and the signal was a little weak. Inside the hall I was getting a very strong signal.

There's also a pretty good 3g signal inside the hall if you want to use a mobile hotspot.
