I went to the Nashville TN boat show Saturday and not a single Starcraft was on display. And I wore my Starcraft Marine hat. :eek:

Glassers, pontoons and a few bass boats.

Went mostly looking for aftermarket items like a bimini top. Little or no booths by such vendors. Oh well.

Re: Not a Starcraft in sight.

maybe if it was closer to their factory they would exhibit..
Tradeshows are rediculesly $$$$$$$$...Even my company has had to make certain decisions regarding which ones give you the best return on your investment.

Perhaps they display at 3 major shows, I would imagine Miami, Chicago & San Diego.

They cancelled one of the boat shows here in Boston, Lack of Interest from Vendors.​

I made the mistake of taking my ex to the L.A. boat show in Cali many years ago..

I had a old 17 foot skiff with an older 35 hp Rude Lark on her...

We walked through the salon of a $$$$$$$ Luhrs or Hatteras yacht..and she said THIS is a BOAT!

Yeah, I was there in the early/mid eighties and went to one of those shows. They had an RV which was also a boat. You could drive the boat up onto the RV, clamp it down and go from the forward hatch straight into the RV cab. Interesting concept, but kinda wonky.

They had LOTS of high end stuff at the show... but I was still happy with my Basstracker anyway. :D
