Aftermarket Upgrades Abound At Lauderdale Show
Much as powerboat-builders of all stripes would love it, most boat-show attendees don’t come to buy a boat. At least half of them are just looking for something fun to do on a weekend, and strolling around a boat-show to tire-kick—cocktail in hand—with friends fills the bill.
The Hardin Marine/CP Performance display trailer always has a remarkable assortment of high performance marine parts and accessories.
Legitimate, purposeful potential buyers are few and far between at such events. That’s not a dig on boat shows or the people who love them, just reality.
But a lot of current boat owners do come to boat shows, such as the famed Fort Lauderdale version in South Florida that opened today, with hopes of finding something to upgrade or update their existing rides. You know, something that costs a whole lot less than a new boat.
