    Stratos - 176xt, 285xl, 295xle
    Phoenix 721 Pro
    Skeeter - ZX225, FX21, SL190
    Ranger - Z120 and some others i didnt get close to

    They actually had a Sterling there and it was awesome... amazing boat

    If you are in the market for an open bow.. the new chapparals are so nice its insane..

    Just for the record, Pontoons are as nice or nicer than ski boats nowadays.

    RV selection was good, but again reflects markets as the super lite models outnumbered teh big heavy stuff. My favorite part of the whole show is going into thje top of the line 5th wheels with full kitchens and fireplaces inside.

    Were a lot of guide services there from all over the country and canada. A couple of kayak booths were really nice. There was a rod manufacturer there with some high end rods and some very nice salesmen.

    I liked the crainkbait 101 seminar, but was dissapointed that the smallmouth seminar was about live bait fishing. The KDFWR setup was just like usual, but they have made changes to the Elk Draw this year, so look for that if you buy your license at the show like i do.

    And best of all the Funnel Cakes were top notch.

    All in all i spent $20 plus $40 to get my license and came away satisfied i got my money's worth... but like was mentined above i didnt go in expecting a fishing expo, but a boat/rv show

    Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I should have said that I was interested in the runabout/pontoon selections most of all. The last time I went it seemed it was all huge boats and RVs.

    $110.00 dollars for a 20 amp circuit to provide power for one or two pieces of equipment that draws less then 10 amps is a JOKE!

    $100.00 dollars per day for internet service is a JOKE!

    I'm going to the show later today and as far as that antique fishing lure guy is concerned. His booth last year was only there for people to look at his stuff, he wasn't interested in trading or selling anything...but he was very interested in buying whatever you had if it had any age to it.

    Trophyfish...you should have packed you some of that Amish smoked cheese to help reduce that $400.00 dollar grocery bill.
