New England Boat Show
This weekend, I attended the New England Boat show. The show featured a wide variety of boat types and sizes, along with marine engines and accessories.
Several trends were obvious within the various classes. Center consoles are getting larger and faster. Many consoles were in the 30’ to 40’ range, powered by triple engines, which, combined, generated 900 horsepower or more. Wake-board boats are offering more interior appointments and showing off eye-catching metalflake paint jobs. Pontoon boats continue to improve in terms of polish and sophistication. And, European-style boats, with markedly different hull designs and interior layouts, began to demonstrate their viability when compared to established U.S. manufacturers.
All in all, there was quite a boat mix to explore. Hopefully, you were able to enjoy the show. If not, be sure to mark your calendar for next year’s show. It will be worth the effort.
