These days everyone is looking for ways to save money and boaters are no exception. Organizers of the 6th Annual Tidewater Boat Show say it’s all about one word this year: “SALE.”
The dealers are pricing boats to sell, with no reasonable offer refused, says Dave Body of Affinity Events, producer of the show coming to the Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton, VA March 26-28.
“The dealers will handle the financing for you, and we are seeing some signs that the banks are starting to cooperate. Trade-ins will be considered. If you are considering buying a boat, this is the time,” Body said.
Another ‘sale’ is the cost of admission itself. New this year are on-line ticket sales, with a savings of $3 off the adult ticket price of $7. Children 16 and under are free.
All types and sizes of boats will be on display: runabouts, saltwater fishing boats, ski boats, pontoon boats, deck boats and jet boats.
In addition, there will be exhibits of boat lifts, floating docks, marine electronics, water sports and safety equipment. Experts will be able to answer questions about a variety of topics: marinas, financing, insurance, boat maintenance and repair and boating safety.
And if you don’t see it all in one day, go to the Show Office and ask for a free return pass to come back!
