New England Boat Show 2012

After a gloomy 2011 season, the New England Boat Show opens with 100,000 sq ft more space, more sailboats, a new tug line, center console fish boats, and pontoons. Abby Sunderland was also on site the last weekend for a book signing. Fred’s Shed, a do-it-yourself seminar, was also popular.  According to Joe O’Neil, show manager, the overall show was up 3-4 percent in attendance from the past two years. “I still think the boat show is a great place to come down, look at boats, services, and related equipment,” says Joe, “plus, it’s fun!”
