Thinking of attending this year, since I have no work travel this week :)
So what day/s are people attending?

I am out Saturday - middle kid flys back to college and I am required by wife to be present for a family lunch then drive him to LAX for his 5pm flight.

I remember the boat shows in the past. There would be a huge contingency meeting up. Now.....?

Are they what they used to be or is it we are all getting old? Lol

Thursday definitely with the wife, and maybe again on Friday with my buddy. I’ll probably uncover the truck and take it if anyone wants a ride from the SB.

Sunday morning. Get back from our annual post holiday work party/blue sky, drop off and head over.

Of those of you going how many are actually intending to find a deal to purchase?
I personally hated working the car shows, so did my spine.:oops:o_O

Not shopping, just drooling on the new hardware.

Let me know if you can swing by beforehand since you’ll be in the area. Need you to measure my door so the wife knows what she can buy.

We already ordered ours, but are buying dock lines, fenders and other small stuff. The new boat is supposed to put out a decent ski wake so we will probably buy a couple of skis to try.

I might get a wild hair and fly down for it if I can. Is there an RDP booth?

Saturday to Pomona.... Grab couple beers.... say hello to these RDP builder dudes posting their builds.... see what these new interiors look/ feel like. Not buying a boat but might get some ideas on updating my interior next fall. Seems like the boat hull technology hasn't altered enough to drop 150K .... I have a 2006 Magic 29 Wizard with 496HO and it gives me everything I need... what I see here online from Shockwave/ Nordic, etc in my class is the same over these 13 years. Power plants are significantly improved and interiors have new skins & colors. So just gonna go enjoy the vibe. That said....there is an exception.... those DCB boys are pushing the limits so gotta see that display... they're building without budgets it appears.

Is Shockwave going to be there? Wouldn't mind picking up a new 29' Magnatude.
