How was the Phildelphia boat show?

I was there tonight and it was kind of small. Also it wasnt crowded at all. When ithey put on the show with that skiing Squirrel it was like the show just emptied out becasue all the people were watching the squirrrel. If they dont get some big crowds this weekend I dont see how they could bring the show back next year.

I have to agree that the show was small in size and crowds. I went on Friday afternoon and after speaking to a few vendors they said that with the show just opening that it should pick-up after dinner. Mercury marine had a fairly large display of engines on display. I have been to past Philly shows which were held at the Philadelphia convention center and this one reminding more of the old Fort Washington show. There are a number of local dealers from the Philly surrounding area but nothing like NY or AC show. The squirrel seemed to be the largest crowd draw!

Went yesterday...Worth the $5 dollars. Took my kids to see Twiggy the Squirrel and my son ended up on Channel 6 news this morning. He thinks it was worth it.

Definitely a smaller show, but worth the admission price. Got some good info on a 27' Osprey with an extended hard top that may be in my future in a few years.
