Any of you guys planning on attending the Toronto International Boat Show that starts January 8th and runs for the week?

My wife and I will attend the show on Saturday Janaury 8th and will spend the night at the Sheraton Hotel. The Sheraton and the Westin Harbour Castle are the two host hotels for the Toronto Boat Show. Both hotels offer free shuttle sevice to and from the Boat Show.

Mike.

I will be attending and looking into the possibility of a 12 volt flat screen tv to watch a DVD without the generator on. Have fun there.

I have been counting down the days to the show since the boat was put away!!! I'm am going on Saturday as well.
It is interesting to see that the only Four Winns dealer listed is The Boat Warehouse, Don Hyde marine is our local dealer and I was there in October and they are usually there with FW. They recently took on the Monteray line.
Wounder if the new V305 will be there?

I plan on being there Saturday the 8th if the weather is decent for driving. I haven't been to the show for a few years now, and this is the first time I have convinced the misses to come along. Can't wait!

Wow you've got a bit of a drive. The show seems better every year and it helps the winter pass!!

Not too bad of a drive now that the most of the highway is four lane. About 3-1/2 hours each way. I agree, it does help break up the winter. Boat show in January, car show in February, then start thinking about what the boat needs done in march.... then we are almost at spring prep time!

We've been debating whether or not to go... Just came back from 10 days at Disney World (Dec 10-20) plus all the Christmas and New Year's travelling has me pooped. Last thing I feel like doing is driving....maybe one of the other guys will drive. We have been to the show in the past and it is quite good.

Love that for the bowrider boats! That's a great idea considering you an probably splice into other lighting circuits and not drill any new holes in your boat!
