We went to an in water boat show on the 12th.  They had boats on land and in the water.  The first one to catch our eye was a 28 foot, wood panel, 3 tube pontoon boat.  SMRP? A cool $189,000.00.  Then we saw this one

30 Foot

Made in Turkey

For a measly $20,000 more, you can go to the bathroom in an actual head instead of outside in a tent :).

There are always the fast boats 

Like the line up of the engines?

Gentlemen, start your engines!

I would hate to have their gas bill.

The police out here have way cooler boats than our police in Minnesota

Police Boat

Of course there are not that many drug runners in Minnesota, they’d get caught too easily when they had to slow down for the No Wake zones :).

And what boat show wouldn’t be complete without the antique boat

This boat is kept in a shed, that is why it looks so good.  The boats are all made by hand. There is a larger boat that was repossessed, then bought by another individual.  The new individual had them send it back to the factory to have every chip and scratch fixed.  Three years later it is still sitting in their yard waiting for the guy to pick it up.  Of course the guy is paying some exorbitant fee for storage every month.  Like a big cash cow.  The owner of the company is very happy :).

Here is a friend of ours who is trying out one of those fishing kayaks

Kayak anyone?

He did real good getting in and out.  Of course I had my camera ready just in case he fell in.  Nothing better than some action shots for the blog ;).

I couldn’t help take a picture of this “Ex-Wife”

Poor Ex-Wife

Sooooo, what do you really think of her?

All in all it was a fun day.  But looking at boats is always fun :).
