Raleigh/Greensboro/Charlotte Boat Shows - The Hull Truth

Anyone going? I'm definitely going to make at least one of the ones in Raleigh. If anyone has been, I'm curious to know if they're worth it. Keep in mind I've not been to a boat show since 1985 in Philadelphia.

Raleigh Bass & Saltwater Fishing Expo (January 8 - 10, 2010 - Raleigh)

Central Carolina Boat & Fishing Expo (January 22 - 24, 2010 - Greensboro)

Mid-Atlantic Boat Show (February 11 - 14, 2010 - Charlotte)

Carolina Powerboat Show & Sale (February 19 - 21, 2010 - Raleigh)

Probably the bass show in Raliegh in Jan, just to see who shows up with boats and see what Chatlee is showing off, may even pick up some tackle for spring. Sad thing is that I can finish the shows in between and hour and an hour and a half since they dropped to one building.

Might go to the convention center show as well, but even though I like all the boats there, they tend to be on the pricey side for what I would have a use for. I'm more in the mid tier occassional saltwater side of the house, and actually don't need a Parker or Grady (even though I love them both).
