I'm glad you're enjoying the pics John, I'm hoping they'll get me through to the spring thaw!

Unfortunately, I didn't see any Avenger's at the show. I had read before the show, that Roy Lewis - the dealer I mentioned before that carried Avengers - didn't have a booth this year at all, and didn't see him there.

So unfortunately, I got nothing to share on the Avenger front.

Here's a shot of the Tuff 16 with the optional race hatch lifted.

Under the removable hatch are a couple more seats.



Here's a shot of a black and yellow Tuff 21 that was also at the show.

The Tuff 21 was equally amazing looking - I sure wouldn't mind one of these.

Here's another shot of the Tuff 21...



And here's a shot of one of John Spaeth's beautiful J-Craft's - it was sold.

You know what I am actually now waiting for? Summer and the antique boat show in Gravenhurst.

The new boats are sexy, but the old classics are mezzzzzmorizing

Here's a close up shot of the Yamaha V-Max that was on the Tuff 21.



Here's a shot of another Yamaha from the official Yamaha booth that was at the show.

All of the various engine manufacturer's, typically have the largest and most elaborate booths.

Here's a larger view of the Yamaha display.



Here's a couple of shots of some with their cowels off.

There were some more Yamaha outboards in the Zodiac booth.

These are cool rigs.

Here are some pics of the Mercury Inflatable Display.

I find that even though the Yamaha's are attractive and look powerful, they just don't have the animalistic feel the Merc's do. I say to you.....quiet, and not so gas thursty....or wild, fast and Mean. I myself go the latter.
