captpierre Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I don't think I'll go. Anything out of the US will be a chunk more. Edited January 7, 2016 by captpierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Anything out of Canada will be a chunk more, since most materials are imported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 You can't win... If commodities are up the cost of aluminum (or whatever) makes them expensive. If commodities are down, our dollar goes with it.....and everything's more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Farmer Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Head of Cauliflower is $8.00, can you imagine a new boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Bought mine last year. Several dealers told me buy now as prices were going up. Figured they were just trying to get me to buy off them. Glad I listened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Head of Cauliflower is $8.00, can you imagine a new boat. You mean it dropped a buck since last weekend? I need to go and take a video of a boat dealership in the morning. Hope I read right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 We went the winter before we bought our new to us boat. It was like being 18 and going to a Brothel and told you can look but no touch. It was nice to see the new stuff for sure though. No deals though, on anything.

RangerGuy Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I went as well.. haven't been to the boat show in long time and it will be the last! $14 + $20 entry + $17 for a pork sandwich and drink = $51 and I didn't buy anything! That is sick! I went because we are thinking of getting a Skeeter WX only 1 on 19' on the floor, I was impressed with the Fit & Finish. Factory rep was a good guy, spent a ton of time with me. Sat in the $120,000 Ranger 620, man full windshield and it's only chest hieght, what's the point of that? Also, spent a lot of time, playing with the new garmin electronics, all I can say is AMAZING! I'm sure we'll have a Skeeter once the dollar is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is sick! Sick no, OUTRAGOUS, you bet your ass. $20 bucks to enter, are you kidding me???????????????? They want to show and sell, it has to be free for the consumer. Cabelas and BPS, SAIL, LeBARONS, dont charge to enter. I no longer will attend any shows. $120 g,s for a bass boat,,,,,,,,,,,,, The economy is going to crash eventually. When it does,it,s going down hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 It is a nice little getaway to break up the January blues. It's not cheap but what does it cost to go out these days?? Nothing is cheap. $120 k for a bass boat?? That's the Rolls Royce of BBs. I used to go with the kids but they lost interest so I don't bother. I like my 19ft fish n ski and it is more than enough for what I need it for so I do not want to go salivate over the new boats and big cruisers.

captpierre Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 The kind of boats and equipment I'm interested in will be available to check out at the sportsman/fishing shows in March. I do like to see what some people will fork out for wakeboard boats and PWC that I see at the cottage all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 There are the "have's", "have some" and "have not's" We all fall into one category. They must be selling 100K Bass boats, and profit from them or they wouldn't make them. We have always had a pay to play economy. To go to a GTG and have 10 chicken wings and 1 draft beer is 50 bucks with a 2 hour drive. You pay or you don't, or I should say you have or have not.

Fisherman Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 All comes down to the "needs" and "wants". Some people don't understand the difference, some do. Although a reality show, a lot of people should take in a couple hours of Til Debt do us Part series and learn from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkrp Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I went to the show and all I saw was AFTICA ( Another" you know what" Thing I Cant Afford. But I picked a great deal and it was free. It was a Just Fishing magazine with with " Big "Jim. Great read! Where do you find these mags other than the shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spincast Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I go to break up the monotony of a winter day and to spend some time with my boy away from school, chores and the blahs, ... At one point we were walking by the wind bags, and there was a sign: "Students! Now hiring for the summer season". I turned to G and said, "Hey, Bud, want a summer job?" He looks at me and in that teenage voice on the first word "Daaaad, I'm not being no cabin boy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormdunker Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I don't plan on attending. Their entry fee & parking is ridiculous! As stated above I can visit BPS & others for free! Clarence at Bay City Marine doesn't charge me to park, nor does he have someone collecting a fee at the entrance! Hey "Very" Old Ironmaker - that must have been an extra large beer! I had 3 beers, 10 wings with fries & cole slaw. $40.00 including an $8 tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey "Very" Old Ironmaker - that must have been an extra large beer! I had 3 beers, 10 wings with fries & cole slaw. $40.00 including an $8 tip! I said to my buddy that would be my last time at Wild Wings. $13.00 for a plain Burger, no cheese, fries or coleslaw. For some reason a Jug and Burger came to almost $35.00 When's the next GTG, I'm already for another, I had a great time. What do you think Kelvin? Ale House? Hay maybe the Legion. Your right Brian, No charge at Bay City nor Bill's Bait. Edited January 12, 2016 by Fish Farmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
