Is it worth the trip?

I have never been to the Hartford one but I have been to the Boston one quite a few times and it is always a good time. McCallum's Boat House will be there representing Nautique and they usually have 3 or 4 boats with them. If I remember right they had a Ski 200, Sport 200, 210 and G23 last year. They also had Jimmy Lariche in the booth with them as well when I went. Last year there was also good representation from MC, Bu, Axis, Tige, Supra, Moomba and Centurion. The show runs 2/22 to 3/2 and here is the site for more info: http://www.newenglandboatshow.com/default.aspx

I would guess that Candlewood East Marine would be the Nautique Dealer that would attend the Hartford show so you might want to check with them to see what they are planning on bringing.

I went to the hartford boat show the last two years. Candlewood didn't even approach me during the show and I was ripping a part the G23. I was early Sunday morning and the booth was empty. Nobody even said hello. Actually we used the sport 200 to take the baby annoucement picture in at the show. The first year I lived in Hartford Ron Nace was there and I wanted to say hello. He has always helped me out for CC.

All the big ski boat lines were there.

We might go Sunday just for something to do with the baby and walk around alittle. I plan on going to Boston in FEB to support Peter and McCullum boat sales. They are good people and if I can tell a customer why they should do business with them I will.

I'm going to go Saturday, candlewood east set some tickets aside for me. They have a 210 being built for
me now, the least they can do. They have been great. I went to Jacob javits, it was ok. Not a nautique in the building. I figure the show will keep me going while It's zero outside. Anyone wants to meet up, just lmk.

Ive done the Boston show for the last ~10 years, but may swing by the Hartford Show on Sat since its so much closer. It looks like ski boats will be well represented at least.
