Boatshop Reports

Winter seemed to be reluctant to leave the Chesapeake this year. The warm weather will stay eventually. In the meantime, this late winter season has been a busy one.

Well, the early forecasts of a mild winter didn’t turn out so well. But at least it is almost over.

It is winter, and the winter boat show cycle is happening.

Happy Holidays to all our readers!

The good fall weather along with over 400 boats on display, and great attendance, made this year’s Annapolis Powerboat Show

The holidays have come and gone and the days are slowly getting longer, so spring can’t be too far away.

Things have slowed down in area boatshops, but that’s a good and normal thing.

The big news to come out of the Annapolis Powerboat Show was that it was big.
