The 2023 IBEX (International Boat-Builders EXpo) has wrapped up. I have had the fortune for working for 5 different suppliers to the marine world over the past 20+ years.

however most importantly, if you are looking for who makes what on your boat to finde that one item for your restoration or to add a ladder, or rub-rail, or powered light mast. feel free to looking around the Exhibitor list. lots of really cool stuff is in the innovation award area.


Most of these vendors are direct to OEM or have distribution which sells to the retail market. some have retail on their website.

This years show was spectacular, with last years show being disrupted by a hurricane.

New battery manufacturers, new custom marine hardware, new motors, with Honda debuting their big outboard. Too many booths to post pictures.

the official IBEX website has pictures and is updated often. https://ibex23.mapyourshow.com/8_0/#/
