I usually love going to the boat shows. This year I found it a little depressing though. There was very little oriented towards wakeboarding--it was mostly wakesurfing.
And, the biggest bummer was boat prices. It seemed like the average wakeboat now costs over 100K. There were several approaching or exceeding 200K. The whole vibe seemed to have changed. It really seemed like it was oriented towards the very wealthy and had lost the family, sporty stoke that drew me to it all in the first place.
Anyone else notice this or was it just me?
P.s. This hasn't killed my stoke for wakeboarding or family boating at all, just found the change in boat show vibe a little disheartening.
