Norwalk Boat Show - The Hull Truth

Codfisher · 09-20-2005, 12:32 PM

Anyone planning on going to the Norwalk Ct In Water Boat Show (http://www.boatshownorwalk.com/) this week?

Jay from BlackLabMarine will have my boat the "Lady Diane" in the water for all to see.

Stop by and say hello.

awesome, yes I will attend and have been looking forward to seeing a Black Lab in the flesh (er, aluminum)

The new Regulator 29' is debuting at this show also.

Unfortunately any new large outboards will not be coming out until the Miami show in Feb '06.

Yes indeed!
I have been out on the V19 many times and love it..I have been itching to see the 23. I'd bet that the 18 degree DR and another four feet make a world of difference.

See ya there.

CF,

Are you going to have you boat at the show for the Thursday opener?

Talked with Jay last night and the LD is in the water and still floating

I look forward to seeing it.

I just looked up where BlackLab will be. According to the show directory
Booth: DKCE12
Building: Water
Space: E Space
Booth Type: In-Water
Booth CE12 which seems to be on the second dock from the left, C dock.

CF,
I just returned from the show.
I must admit I spent at least an hour flirting with Diane. She is gorgeous.
Jay and Stewart seem like really good people.

Mama and I talked it over on the way home and this time next year we will be in the 23 as well.

Congrats on such a beautiful rig.

Thanks Steve...I do miss her especially since there is a fair BFT bite happening at the moment.

Jay and Stewart are the most professional, honest, and down to earth folks you will ever meet in this business. They treat customers right.

See anything else interesting at the show? How about the Reg 29?

George,

What people are calling a "bite" this year is pathetic....

I don't get it. Bait up the ying yang, whales, sharks, seals, bass, blues but almost NO GBFT.

This should be peak season and 90% of the boats remain tied up to the docks.

There were some beauties there...I made the mistake of heading right to the Pacific and just got lost in her. Everything beyond that just seemed to lose its lustre.
I was really impressed with alot of the 'lower-end' boats, 20-30k. For a weekend warrior that does light fishing and local cruising there are some really nice packages.
How about them Searays for only $5999.00 a month?
