1. What would you say is a must “how-to seminar” to take in during this year’s boat show?
We revamped our Angler’s Alley speaker lineup last year to include the most top pros, tournament winners, and experts that were available and visitors responded so well that we had to add extra rows of chairs after the first day.
At the 2011 show, we are going to hold four Angler’s Alley “colleges” on the four weekend days; one each covering walleye, bass, fishing electronics, and steelhead. Mike Knippenberg and Ryan Buddie, this year’s Masters Walleye Circuit team of the year, will speak at the show on Jan. 15 and 19 and 2010 MWC World Walleye Champion Jonnie Candle will be there on Jan. 21, 22, and 23.

Hello everyone, Rick Ostler here from North American Waterway. Do you have any idea what does the month of January mean to the boating industry? January is the start of the Boat Show season across North America.
To start off the boat show season, the 2011 Atlanta Boat Show, happening January 13 – 16. The 49th annual show is located at the Georgia World Congress Center, 285 Andrew Young International Blvd, NW Atlanta, GA.
I recently caught up with Boat Show Representative Sarah Ryser, and I had an opportunity to ask her a few questions about this years show;
1. What would you say is a must “how-to seminar” to take in during this year’s boat show?
We have a wide variety of free daily seminars and interactive courses for new and experienced boaters. The ‘Basics of Sonar’ by Ken Sturdivant is definitely a must. Many attendees have commented on how much they have learned from that seminar year after year.
In addition, the new sailing seminars by the Windsong Sailing Academy are expected to be a hit with sailing enthusiasts, which have been missing in recent years from the seminar lineup.
2. What has always been or will be the “most popular exhibit”?
It’s hard to qualify the most popular exhibit at Atlanta Boat Show; the majority of local boat dealers have done an exceptional job decorating their booths to enhance the shopping experience for the attendee.
However, in recent years, one of the show features, the Affordability Pavilion, has been a big hit with visitors, as it showcases boats from dealers throughout the show floor that can be financed for 0/month or less – a great stop for entry-level buyers.
The Let’s Go Fishing Center is also a popular destination at the show. You can check out What’s new in fishing with daily seminars that are no cost and the live demonstrations are great way to update and improve your fishing skills.
Features of the exhibit include:
Daily fishing seminars – Take in local professional fishing experts demonstrate how to cast along with current fishing techniques. The training will be for saltwater and freshwater fishing. Check out how you can obtain a free Berkley fishing gift, and be sure to enter the Berkley Fishing Dream Tackle Box and gear contest, valued at 0.
The 5,000 Gallon Bass Tub – This is really cool, a rare opportunity to view the reaction how fish strike using a variety of lures. The aquarium will be stocked all during the show with native fish.
Trout Fishing for Kids – kids under 12 years of age get to enjoy the catch-and-release trout fishing pond. This goes on every day at the boat show.
3. In your opinion what’s the “number 1 attraction” of this year’s show”?
A big attraction for the 2011 show is Distortion Wake Boarding Extreme Rail Jam – A high energy wake-boarding demonstration inside the convention center. The top rider’s right across the United States will perform radical wake boarding stunts and tricks using a state-of-the-art portable towing device. The demonstration will be done in an amazing landing pool filled with 30,000 gallons of water. The professional boarders are from Malibu, Ski Nautique, Mastercraft and Distortion Boarding.

Boat Accessories Make Your Trip Perfect
Nothing helps keep your boat afloat better and you happy with it than the perfect boat accessories. Having the right objects around and in your boat can ensure that you have the best time possible and never have to stress about not having the right item. Comfortable seats, a sturdy cooler, and a flawless navigation system are just a few accessories that will make any boating trip a complete enjoyable success.
Having the right seating in your boat is a critical part of your trip. When on a long fishing trip where you will be sitting down for extended amounts of time, you want to make certain you have a chair that will provide you with ease and support. Chairs that do not sustain you properly can lead is discomfort and aches and pains. Softer and bucket like seats will supply you with comfort and contentment so you can fish for hours upon hours without needing to get up and stretch or getting uncomfortable.
Another vital necessity for your fishing expedition is a strong and reliable cooler. You will need one sizeable enough to hold your beverages but you might even need another one to hold your fish, shrimp, or other marine life as well. An ideal aspect to look for when purchasing the best cooler for you is making sure that you find one that can float. Every fisherman, or woman, knows that when the cooler falls overboard it is hopeless unless you have one that will not sink straight to the bottom. You also want to find one that if it falls out of the boat when pulling the boat onto the ramp and hits the rocks, that it will not just break and fall apart. You need a cooler than is as strong as you and will float because accidents do happen on fishing excursions.
A navigation system is another important item to have on your adventure on the water. You want to make sure that you never get lost or so far out that you will run out of gas. Having a guide to help you make it around the open water will help your trip be less stressful and help you accomplish your goal. A system of navigation will help you ensure you never get lost and waste time on your fishing trip.
The right boat accessories will lead the way to the absolute best journey you will ever have. It gives you exactly what you need to have a great time. They prepare you and keep you comfortable for the entirety of your trip.
Top Tips For Buying a Boat
How can I make sure I choose the right boat?
Think about what you need, don’t need and what you would like. Narrow down your choices to short lists of categories, makes, features etc. Ask yourself, what will I be using my boat for? spending time with family & friends, socialising, entertaining, racing, cruising, fishing (saltwater or freshwater?) sailing, holidays (sleeping), watersports etc, do your research on this, a lot of people don’t think this far ahead! speak to people who are involved in boating, involve yourself in the community! more often than not they will go out of their way to help.
Visit boat shows and boat dealers
Now you have a narrowed down idea of what your require, visit boat shows and boat dealers (google search either) get on board the boats, get a feel for them and don’t be afraid to ask questions (no matter how silly or obvious) if you are new to boating, tell the dealer that! chances are they will be extra friendly and helpful.
Do I buy new or used?
This really depends on the person buying the boat, if you have the money and intend on keeping the boat forever (or at least a long time) then buy it new! however if you feel you are on a budget and new to boating then purchase a second hand craft, a boat will probably lose half it’s value in two years without many effects on the appearance or condition. Just because a boat is pre owned it does not mean it is “used”, generally speaking boats spend 90% of their life out of use, sitting in the water or garage. Statistically speaking, most new boat owners upgrade within three years anyway.
Rule of thumb! unless money is no object, or you have a desire to own everything from new, go for a second hand boat! it makes sense.
Test drive time!
Did you know you can test drive a boat? see the way it handles and feels on the water! bring the family with you, get a feel for the environment you will be using it in! take it out to sea. Ask questions, get the family to ask questions, find out as much as possible.
Time to buy!
Discuss the options with your dealer, should you pay cash or finance? what are the added benefits of finance? a good dealer will go out of their way to help you find the best package available. This is also the time to be sure you understand the additional costs of boating, it’s not just the fibreglass!
Accessories, water toys & safety gear
Operating costs (petrol)
Maintenance and upkeep
Storage (if a trailer in your garage or backyard is not an option)
Insurance
All of these are common sense but not a everyone thinks about these additional expenses when purchasing boats, all of the above apply to almost anything you buy. One thing for sure, the cost of owning a boat is nothing compared to the benefits derived from owning and using one!
