I may as well be the first to say it. $469K for that Glacier bay. There's a sucker born every minute.
Two things to say about that...
1. It was already sold, and was being shown at the show with the owners permission.
2. I took that photo because the sticker, and the boat do not match.
The sticker says it has twin Cummins diesels in it, while it obviously is outfitted with Zuke outboards.
Don't know what the real price was, but who would show a boat with the wrong sticker on it?

Kevin, how did you like the Maritime Skiff Challenger? That looks like a neat little boat.
It is a neat, no nonsense boat.
The Maratime 23 Challanger looked like the same hull that they use for the 23 Partiot, but I like the pilothouse design of the Challanger better because it has more room in the cockpit for fishing.
She was bare bones, and there were things I didn't care for, but she did seem to be well put together.

Got a friend here in Bermuda who is looking very hard at the Albin 35. There are not many boats <38' without a FB which have a guest cabin which is not tucked up in a hot hole under the cockpit. This one has bunks (great for the kids) & galley up right next to the cockpit door so that the galley slave is not forgotten when everyone else is in the cockpit having a great time. Not a bad cruiser for those who like the sort of DE style.
The Formula looks confused. What is it? A go fast or a cruiser? Can't be both & do it well.
like the others- thanks a bunch for taking the time to share all these pics. I keep wanting to go to this show each year but the darn kids activities always spoil my plans.
80% of your pics are of pilot houses.... wonder what your fav style is????
