Boat show in raleigh this weekend

[AndyD]

Very underwhelming show. How hard is it to get a few lift/dock and accessory vendors in there to show off their products as well.
It helped me confirm though that I did the right thing and buy my Chaparral Jet. Couldn't find one boat I liked better than the one in my slip.
Wife did see one boat she liked a lot and it happened to be the only Yamaha in the entire place and it had a sold sign on it (only sold sign I saw so chalk one up for the jets!). Figured I would take a quick picture for all my Yamaha friends. Anyone on here pull the trigger on this? She was a beauty.

I didn't pull the trigger on this particular one but this is the same model and color we just purchased from Chatlee a few weeks ago. They only had three when I was there. The one I bought, a second one that was spoken for, and apparently this one they brought to the show.

It is an amazing boat!

I bought that exact boat from Chatlee in June (see my avatar). We are extremely happy. This fall show is never all that great. The dealers are just trying to unload the rest of their inventory and make a last ditch effort at sales of the year. The Spring show is always better. I was most disappointed that there were no accessory vendors there. I would have been interested in a deal on a wake board, ropes, wax, etc. Nothing. Oh well, the Nautiques were cool to see.
