NY Nat'l Boat Show

[mattyboy]

Anyone thinking of going? Looks light on any go-fasts.
Even with the need for all of the little goodies and free tickets
I'm thinking of skipping it. If anyone goes let us know what you think

I will probably be going , not sure what day, Im on vacation this week so I will have to figure it out after I get back to the office on Monday . I haven't been in over ten years but I ve got a renewed interest since I bought my boat in August . I will be happy to give a report when I get there ....

Is the Motorcycle show at the same time? Skipped last year because it was snowing on Friday. We usually take the train into GC. It's more of a day off drunken all day event for us.

Now they are going to tear the place down and start over . . .

A privately funded plan to build the nation's biggest convention center in New York City with 3,000 hotel rooms and an inside track to expanded gambling got a powerful boost Wednesday from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Cuomo pushed for a development company's proposal for Aqueduct racetrack in Queens in his State of the State speech as part of his recommendation to grow gambling in a bid to create jobs and shore up sagging state tax revenues.

The proposed $4 billion, nearly 4 million-square-foot convention center in Queens between New York City's major airports would replace the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. The Javits Center was considered too small almost from the outset and poorly suited for the kind of bold, glitzy convention center that would be appropriate for Manhattan as a world destination; an ongoing expansion project slated for completion next year would increase its size to nearly 900,000 square feet.

"Let's build the largest convention center in the nation, period," Cuomo said.

I went last night, had a great time in the City. We thought it was a decent show. As for performance boats, only one, a 353 Formula. Still fun, walking around checking out boats!

Might've been some good exposure. I like the flying saucer hub caps on the burgundy boat's trailer.
