How has it been in the past? Wondering if I'll just see the exact same stuff at the Dallas Boat Show. The advertisements for the "Master Illusionist" make me think of GOB from Arrested Development [Europe's Final Countdown playing in the background]. Any feedback? Thanks!

McFly- Please tell me more about the ride and slide. The Indy show promotor was asking me about it.

FW may see 30,000 people over ten days - Dallas will see 6-7 times that with more boats, bigger displays, more pro-shops, more products. If you're into bass boats and fishin lures it's the show for you.

There are a lot of people who kick the tires in FW and stroke the check in Dallas so it can work for some. There is a new show owner, the Cowboys are not in the playoffs so if you want to find the glass half full.......
