As long as everyone is talking about boat shows, I was just wondering if anyone is going to the Chicago Boats, Sports & RV show on January 9-13th. |

I plan on being there over the weekend. Interested to see if any big boats will be there. The floor plan for the show looks very much like last year. |

There will be some big boats, but it seems that each year there is an ever increasing number of pontoons and bowriders, and less cruisers, and sportboat/cuddys. We go anyway because it gets me thinking about the upcoming season, and I want to look into having Flexteak installed on my boat. |

There are several products out that resemble FlexiTeek. We actually removed ours from the swim platform last year. It was too hot to stand on. I saw a product at the 31st St. boat show last year that did not get as hot. I think it was called NuTeak. We loved the look of FlexiTeek but we could not use our swim platform when rafted up without putting down towels. |

Thanks for the info on Flexiteak. I am also going to check out Nuteak, PlasDECK, and PlasTEAK. BTW where do you moor in season? |

I won't be making the show...and I do have Flexi-Teak on my platform. After one season it does get a bit hot, but keep sandals near the platform and your fine. Very easy to keep clean and looks great. |

We go anyway because it gets me thinking about the upcoming season +1. I just like wandering around looking at the stuff all the vendors have. It is a nice mid winter break, and does help get us through to spring! Back in 2009 my wife and I actually met Jnizi and his wife while looking at a 258 Vista on display at the Chicago show. He owned a 258 at the time and was nice enough to answer a TON of questions we had! He introduced us to the broker who ended up selling us our 268....small world huh? |

It is a small world and those chance meetings grow into great friendships. Looking forward to seeing our boating friends. This usually gets us excited in the upcoming boating season. |
