A Rainy Afternoon at the 2024 Tulsa Boat Show

I went to the Tulsa Boat Show on a rainy day last weekend and here he is what I saw.

Lots of personal watercraft on display. I’ve never been on one of these and I think it would be a blast. I know people who cannot afford boats buy these things now. They are the size of a small boat.

I loved the color of this boat.

Our sheriff’s department brought one of their boats. I think riding in one of these would also be fun.

There were a couple of vintage wooden boats on display, not for sale. This is a 1959 Riva Ariston built in Italy. It is named Bella Vita which means “Beautiful Life.”

I cannot imagine putting it in the water. It is number 219 of 1021 built.

This is a 1955 Chris Craft Cobra 21′. It’s also gorgeous. Number 18 of only 56 built.

And back to boats for sale. They had a bunch of pontoon boats. My in-laws had one and it was fun.

And bass boats. I saw one for $91,000. I bought a used bass boat when I lived near a lake in Texas back in the day. It was used and I think I paid like $400 and sold it back to the guy I bought it from for $400. The two happiest days of my life were the day I bought and the day I sold it.

Lots of little light weight travel trailers. I love the retro design of this one. It had the door at the back.

This was probably the most popular trailer. I had to stand in place for a while before traffic cleared out so I could take a photo. A trailer with a back deck and loft sleeping areas. It also is a rear entry.

The interior is cool.

Here’s another two story trailer but not near as nice. So I guess the kids sleep up top to give mom and dad a little privacy?

And some RV’s. Here is a truck conversion.

And here is a deluxe version.

They had four wheelers for sale.

And two wheelers.

Anyway, it was a nice day to spend a rainy couple of hours. I don’t buy anything, I just like looking.

I am linking with My Corner of the World. Go check it out!!

    I love the vintage boats. A guy came through Yellowstone with a canoe on top of his car that he had made. It was an incredible piece of art. We like going to the RV shows just to take a look at the newest models. It’s quite amazing what they have now. Remember that little trailer we had as kids. I’ll always feel bad my brothers had to sleep outside in a tent.
