It's Boat Show Time


Later this month, we'll be at the 27th Annual Hot Springs Boat, Tackle & RV Show right in our own backyard. This show is the largest in Arkansas and will feature hundreds of the latest boats to view and board including bass boats, pontoon boats, deck boats, ski boats, wakeboard boats and personal watercraft. The show will also feature the latest in recreational vehicles. Exhibitors will show the newest in marine accessories, fishing tackle, RV accessories, boating equipment, docks and more.

We'll be bringing our new Sea Ray, Premier Pontoons and Harris FloteBote models.

Are you planning on coming to the show? We recommend you prepare ahead of time to ensure you have the most meaningful, educational and fun experience possible!

1. Do your homework. If you're planning on using the boat show as a place to examine a boat you're seriously considering purchasing, great! This can be a good place to do that. But check out our inventory online first so you can make the most of your time on board. Feel free to contact us if you want to check on exactly what we're bringing to the show. Finally, we recommend you check out the manufacturers websites as well. We will have Sea RayPremier Pontoons and Harris FloteBote models with us, so take a peek at those sites too!

2. Don't rely on the brochures. We're not kidding. The brochures are only going to tout certain aspects of each boat and show flattering pictures. So if you want other documentation, bring that camera and pen and paper. We think this is really important, because when you're looking at lots of boats, you probably won't be able to remember which boat has which features later. Write down everything you think you might need to come to a decision later that's not mentioned in the brochures. And if you want a visual of a feature that's left off a brochure, then that camera will come in handy.

3. Bring the family! Boat shows are a great place to have fun with your family. And for this show, kids under 12 get in free! There is no schedule posted ahead of  time for this show, so it's hard to say what events and activities will be going on. But we can assure you that your kids will have a blast no matter what happens at the show!

Now last, but certainly not least, make sure you visit us! See you there!
