I went Friday the 13th, tempting fate perhaps 🙂 It was a good show, I did notice its not as big a show as it has been in the past, there wasn't any big boats up on the Hard Standing. No cash accepted for refreshments - Premier was giving complimentary coffees and biscuits, thumbs up for Premier. I was looking for an outboard and the various stands were extremely helpful in that regard. Was not quite ready to buy at the show, but I have a much better idea now what I want. Even found an electric outboard that would be equivalent to about 40HP but 20K so they cant really compete there yet. On the Princess Stand they had some lovely models (the boats, the boats), I suspect I wouldn't be able to afford that either. I have a RIB so was looking at those. Some of those RIB's have really nice accessories, seats, lockers, bow fittings etc but very limited on the aftermarket stalls for these items to put on your own boat.

Ha, the show has definitely shrank over the years. I still love going, always go for 2 days so we can take our time and browse around everything. I have some videos of the Princess boats coming up!
