The New England boat show in Boston was hopping this weekend- perhaps a good indication for boat manufacturers that things might be picking up. The most notable display had to be the amphibious vehicle made by SeaLegs. No, it’s not street legal, but it does roll right onto its custom trailer. And if you have waterfront property, you can bring her up the beach and right into the garage after a day of fishing.With the powerboat manufacturers down in attendance this year, the smaller businesses really stood out, including boat time-share companies like Freedom Boat Club (power) and SailTime (sail). And the sailing schools were quite popular, including Boston-based, award-winning Black Rock Sailing School.
The boat show continues through this coming weekend. For more information, go to the event website.
