Yeh, right now thats our most popular model. They just came out with the 390, which I think is going to do real well. I think the guy you talked to is the new guy they brought on for up in Brick. I don't know him yet.

So what did you think of the show overall? Seems like a few more boats than last year. I thought it was good. Even thought it took me about an hour to find a place to park..which was in Ceasars. I was thinking of going back tomorrow, but I doubt it...we'll see.

Well see heres the deal, i have to borrow my cousins digital camera since i havnt gotten one yet. But ill try to get one soon i guess. I know the boat is crammed in the back of the machine shed so i will have to see whats all around it so the pictures may not be the best. Might be a bit dirty.

I thought the show was real nice. Parking for me was great. Right under the center near the door, thanks to my wife's handicapped sticker. The guy Bob, said he was from NY and I got the impression he was new to the area. I spent a lot of time in the marketplace area seeing a lot of my friends in the marine business. I also bought a double PWC trailer from Atlantic Powersports. On the way down to the show Saturday, my wife thought it would be a good idea to take our See-Doo and Waverunner down to Florida with us on Tuesday. So the trailer will be hooked up to the back of the F-150 for the trip to FL. We will be down there for five weeks, so it will be nice to have some fun on the water. My son was out on the See-Doo yesterday getting it ready for us and he had it up to 64.5 MPH on the GPS. The cool air really helps with the speed.

Actually the Rinker was the only boat that I went on. I have seen several of the in the lagoons around my house and thought that I would take a look. (The wife liked it also)

Did you see those original James Bond boats in the back corner?

I did the same thing....walked thru the market place and talked with alot of guys I dont get to see on a daily basis. Im sure I spent double the amount of time BS'n that I did actually looking at boats. I did look at the new Seadoo's and Yamaha Jetskis. Real nice but I cant justify $11,000 for something I will use on occasion and only in the summer. So I guess, I will go the used route.

I did see the old Bond boats. That was pretty neat. I liked the little green submarine. Wouldnt mind having one for myself.

Well have fun in Florida...wish I was going for 5 days let alone 5 weeks
