? Lexington boat show

[savage884]

Is this a boat and tackle deal or is there also RV and campers like Louisville?Thanks

Both you'll see everything from boats to home made fudge.

Minimal tackle....

[smljaw]

Angler's Outpost will be set up in Elkhorn Meeting Rooms. Other than that I don't think there will be too much tackle for sale.

We're there, but with a few boats and campers. We don't have any tackle, I hear there will be some. We will have 2 Basscats.

Over the past several years the Lexington Boat / RV Show has pretty much sucked.

They started charging so much that the local dealers that were in the
Lexington area couldn't afford the fees, so started having their own "IN House" boat shows/sales.
This may have all changed as I quit going about 4 years ago cause it was so terrible.

Heck, the Louisville Show didn't even use one of the wings they always used in previous years. Are they pricing themselves out of business too ?

[Tim_T]

The Louisville show couldn't use the other wing because it is undergoing major renovations.

[SilverRanger]

I'm guessing that renovation either kept some away or made it to where the dealers that did come had to downsize their Show inventory then.

I remember in years past that the other wing always had the campers and trucks and food in it.

Thanks for giving me an explanation

it seems like everything these days is being overpriced.just wait till this summer(gasoline)i have been to three different boat shows this year and the price on the new bass boats is unreal.most of the 18' boats with a 150hp is in the $30.000.00 range (after taxes and everything else).and in todays world this is a mid size bass boat.most of the dealers i talked to in tennessee and ky tell me they will finance a new or used boat now up to 15 years!!! in todays world with corporate takeovers,merger mania,company buyouts,and layoffs a lot of us will not even be working in 15 years!!! look at ford,chevy,and chrysler.they all are in big trouble.look how many employes the big three has laid off or will buy them out.not all of us are doctors and lawyers looking to buy a boat but most of us are the blue collar worker.i am afraid in the near future you will see a lot of dealers and boat mfg. go out of business because of the pricing of the boats and the economy.just my opinion.thanks

[SilverRanger]

I feel the same way Barryj.

I think the corporate world may be pricing themselves out of business
