The Raleigh, NC show is Feb. 21-22 at the Fairgrounds and the Greensboro Show is Feb. 27-March 1 at the Greensboro Convention Center. I'm not sure on dates for Charlotte. I know it is the first weekend in February at the Charlotte Convention Center.

I usually go to the Minneapolis Boat Show every year. It's held at the Minneapolis Convention Center right downtown and it is HUGE. Only 1 CC dealer usually shows up, but there sure are a lot of other boats and accessories to look at. This year it will be January 21-25.

Cincinnati Travel, Sports & Boat Show
January 9 - 18, 2004 Cincinnati Convention Center

no correct craft representation at this show at least for the last 8 yrs or so. malibu, supra, and mastercraft own this show.

footinfool.....We have a Correct Craft dealership in Columbus. Do you think it would be a good business move to be at this show? We have sold a half a dozen boats in the Cinci area. We did a show in Wilmington last year and it didnt do much for us. The other problem is that it is almost at the same time as the Cleveland Boat show. Looking for some input......do you think customers would drive to Columbus to purchase and service? Do you have any contact information that you can pass along to us on that show? Thank You in advance...everyone. ERIC

this show is defintely a huge show, at least on weekends the last 10 years. its the first one of the year, runs 2 weekends, and draws from the southern half of ohio, northern kentucky, and southern indiana. the wilmington show was a joke, but it was the first time there and should get better in a few years.

here is some info on the cincy boatshow. check out this website

driving about 2 hrs to columbus is better than 4 hrs to summerset, ky or 3.5 hours to new london, ohio. my buddy goes to columbus for service on his malibu and there is a dealer in cincinnati. sure would think you would get more response from cincy than wilmington show.
