Used to be held inside the Raintrees shopping centre, last year or two it has been absent, when the weather starts to warm again it's time to keep an eye out for it.

well..did you buy anything..you can do some really good deals there.

[Outsider1]

Well our turn to visit the show tomorrow!

I am looking forward to checking out the Arrowcats, from what I have seen on their website they look very interesting.

Anything else in particular I should keep my eye out for??; and where do I get all the bargains?

Wonder if they will let me troll a lure off the ferry on the way down??

Cheers

I went today and there was some nice rigs there hiterland had some great looking allison fishing boats. Had a chat to a few salesman and they were saying it has been hard work selling the boats. I think intrest rates and fuel prices are hurting the boat market.

Hey Guys,

I'll be there all 4 days. Working! If anyone is after a show special on a Suzuki let me know.

Anyone coming from the Goldie, I would advise you to park at Hope Island (near the Marina Quays Tavern, and catch the ferry to the show. Costs $10 and will be a LOT quicker than parking at Parklands and catching the bus.

Coming from Brissie it will defeat the purpose as you will get caught in traffic around Sanctuary Cove.

Regards

Darren

Going on Sunday, hey Darren might take you up on the Suzi but need to find the right rig first (as if that's not hard enough!) without breaking the bank and getting divorced at the same time...lol....I thought the trailer boat manufacturers might have thinned as it's been a couple of years since I've been, but they say they are there in record numbers this year. At least it makes it a bit easier to view them all in the one place.

Cheers!

watch some of the big names take some big orders..as I said..they do some good deals at that show if you are in the market.
When we were looking last year..we got trade offers on our boat, sight unseen and anything up to about 40k off the normal price.
