There weren't any Four Winns represented at the boat show this past Sunday. I was manning a booth for my power squadron and had a chance to look around. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. It was pretty crowded and the boat sale bell was ringing quite often the 3 hours that I was there.

What dealers were there?

Was Skipper Bud's there? They are the Four Winns dealer for the east side of the state.

Of course when you plan a show the same weekend as the biggest show in the industry, you got to figure manf. attendance will be light.

Skipper Buds is also the FW dealer in my area. They did not bring any boats to the Cleveland show and only had a booth display.

They were down at the Miami Boat Show with the 435, 378, 258 vistas, and a few others.

It did smell like someone emptied the sewer inside the 435 on saturday. The FW's were delivered on wednesday due to a hold up at the border by Customs, show started on Thursday, ended today.

Where were they coming from? Not the factory or a local dealer?

From Canada, I don't know if from another show.

I didn't see Skipper Buds there. They usually have a big sign somewhere and there was none to be seen.
