    Thumbs down Melbourne Boat Show

    What a waste of time. All the boats were either plastic or aluminum. My mate wanted to buy a compass, could not find one. He could buy sat nav stuff but not a basic compass. The boats all seem to come with a CD player but not dock lines. Don't start me on oars.

    Pagie sounds like the last time I went to the so called "best boatshow in Australia" in Mandurah... plastic crap everywhere!! Not one single worthwhile boat among them nor one that anyone with under 500K to spare could even consider affording... first and only year I did see something made of anything other than plastic was a small wooden skiff someone had bought to show and it was tucked well away from the main event so far in fact that you had to walk completely away from the event to get onto the damned dock they gave it!!

    Dont bother with them anymore mate
    Believe me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!
