Sea-Doo no show at Tampabay Boat Show

[rcguy]

Went to the the Tampa Bay Boat Show yesterday in St Petersburg, FL and the local Sea-Doo dealership, Barney's, was a no show. What is up with Sea-Doo?

Highlight, saw the new Yamaha 19 ft sport fishing center console. Nice boat, a little small for a center console, but was not available for delivery till late summer of 2015.

19' cc...would be nice in the back waters....not so much past the bridges.

Well, depending on who pays for it could make all the difference. Now, put yourself in their shoes, they spend say $5K to do the show, and sell just one ski and make $1K on the deal. They just spent 4 grand to make a presence, not a great return on your investment in today's economy. You can only bleed so much money. And if Seadoo gives them money towards it I'm sure their bean counters are tracking the return on investment under a microscope, no sales from the show= no kickback money next season for you to do the show.
