There’s no better place to preview the new boating season! Ask “What’s New?” The Detroit Boat Show is one of the top shows in the country, and this 9-day event is your once-a-year chance to compare makes and models, gear up with the latest accessories, and start planning your summer fun - all at one time! This year, more than ever, we encourage you to talk to the quality exhibitors on the floor and ask “What’s New?” because so much of what is new and exciting here this year is not always visible to the eye. And there’s no better time to buy! Our economy continues to improve and home values continue to climb. Water levels are high, gas prices and interest rates are low. Michigan’s new Sales Tax on the Difference Law will save you money on your new boat purchase if you are trading in a boat. The list goes on, and what it means to me is, “There is no better time to buy a boat!” Don’t know where to start? You are in the right place! If you are new to boating, launch your boating life at our Discover Boating Center located in our information booth and we will help you find the right boat for the right price for as little as $250 per month. After the show, visit with one or more of the dealers you talked with at the show if you need more information or time to decide. Another great resource is www.discoverboating.com where you can find all kinds of tools and articles on boating’s benefits. There is no WiFi on the water – but boating brings you a better connection! Boaters know that boating offers you a chance to connect with friends and family away from the stresses in life - making memories that will last a lifetime. It is a smart investment in that your boat isn’t “over in a week” like some vacations are. It will be ready for you every weekend, all summer long, and for the next 20 years (or more). It is a smart investment in FUN! I hope you enjoy your time at the show visiting with hundreds of Michigan’s finest marine businesses and shopping boats, motors, trailers, marina slips, accessories, gear, gifts, service, apparel and so much more. And I hope you enjoy your time on the water this summer. Sincerely,
