No, I don't have any more boats to sell.
Today was the last day of the "Sportsmen's Exposition and Arizona Boat Show"... I figured we should go check it out, knowing they won't have any boats that would truly interest me (cabin-type powercruisers or sailboats). They didn't. Still, it is an interesting way to spend a couple hours.
The show is at the stadium where the SuperBowl was held 3 weeks ago. There was also an RV Show & Sale on the grounds outside the stadium... but, I am done looking at RVs, for now. On to the show...
Plenty of people there - I thought this might be a light-attendance day, since it is the last day of the show. We weren't here for the previous days, but if this is any indication, it was a good show. Lots of hunting and fishing lodges and excursions...
Any kind of camo stuff you might want...
If you put down that camo backpack, will you ever see it again??
There were car dealers (well, mostly pickup truck dealers) as well as the boat dealers...
Of course, it wouldn't be an outdoor exposition without these folks...
They had a bunch of boats there - not too much of a trip for them, since they have a large store just a couple blocks away.
Plenty of "Go-Fast" boats...
Some pontoons...
For a swinging-kinda guy like myself, this suspension chair that you can hang from a receiver hitch...
Some very nice taxidermy...
WassSUP? (Stand Up Paddleboards)...
Some adventure camping trailers and small pickup campers (that I will be using with my next wife)...
Apparently, this wife is very happy with her Winnebago.
A big fish tank...
Hobie had a nice display there - they have updated the seating on their outstanding kayaks...
You have to have a climbing tower...
Some C-Dory folks may not recognize this TomCat...
And all kinds of booths selling cooking stuff (we picked up some tasty seasoning), pillows, flashlights, clips to hold your sunglasses on your cap, and this...
That is a pickup painted with bed-liner material... I guess you wouldn't have to worry about door dings in the parking lot. ;-)
Last year, there was a 3 level, 70' houseboat in the stadium; there wasn't one in there this year, but these guys were outside the stadium...
... with a semi truck and trailer as a walk-through display for what they can make for you for an upscale big ol' houseboat; including a private slip at Lake Powell.
After the boat show, we got to spend the afternoon with our sweet girl and son-in-law. (Yeah, he's sweet, too.) We haven't seen them for a week - I was missing my baby.
We picked up mail that was forwarded; pretty much a once every six weeks thing. And, they throw away all the junk mail before forwarding. That's worth going away for a while, huh? ;-)
