Saturday, I dropped the kid off at his Improv class and headed over to the Tulsa Boat Show. Logan and his mother hate the boat show so if I want to go I have to go when I can.
And I found some boats. I loved this tri hull pontoon boat. Pontoon boats make for a lot of room and a smooth ride. They are not too sexy though.
The dealers had their big boats there also. Yes, there are lots of these, and bigger, on Oklahoma lakes. I think the boats are bigger than the lakes just between you and me.
Once I have paid the fee to get in, I have never bought anything at the boat show. Nothing, not even food (it is kind of like fair food.) Still it is fun seeing what is for sale. I would like some property where I could tool around in a four wheeler like the above.
They had an amphibious car, or maybe it is an amphibious boat. A car that get in water.
It has a most manly instrument panel don’t you think.
Here is a video from four or five years ago. Yes, it can go pretty good but never gets up on plane. It just plows through the water.
And they had some Indian Motorcycles. I’ll take red please. They are beautiful.
They also had some funky powered assist bicycles. They can go up to 25 miles per hear I heard a salesman tellsomebody.
Weapons are extra.
I’m a sucker for old woonden power boats. They are just so cool. This is an Aristo Craft, 1956 model. $16,000 bucks and it is yours.
I think that would is beautiful.
there are lots of trailers at the show also. They get fancier ever year. This one has a rear deck. You have to provide your own kids though. Maybe next year they will have them with kids. Stay tuned.
This is more my speed. I love the color.
Many trailers and RV’s now have outside kitchens, stereos, televisions. I think that would be nice.
What about you? Have you been to a boat show lately?

That Hydrocar kind of appeals to the James Bond in all of us, and the more manly the instrument panel the better, even if it does appear to be too much information. On the other hand, I know just the lake here in NW Arkansas for that Aristo-Craft. That is one sweet, easy going ride.
We haven’t been to the Tulsa Boat Show in several years. It was always one of my favorite events. I have bought lures at the show, but not much else. I’m guessing that kids will always be optional equipment in a trailer. They’re just to much overhead to carry very many in inventory. Have a great week Yogi.
It’s amazing the things they build!
What a fun boat show!! And, yes, it is amazing what has been built!! Great post for the day!!
I don’t even go to the RV shows. But I remember going to boat shows with my Dad and love those old wooden boats.
We have Flower, Home, RV and Boat shows heading here in the next month or so. I’d be interested in the RVs these days.
If only I would win the Powerball, lol! I would buy the pontoon boat and the trailer.. Both, would be lots of fun. Great shots from the show, thanks for sharing.. Have a happy week!
Some very fancy and expensive boats there.
Used to have a Grand Banks 36 ft and it was great fun and she handle the seas wonderfully ~ Boat shows are fun! Great shots!
Happy Week to you,

Wow – some cool vehicles! I liked the old wooden boat, but I’m not much of a sailor.
I have not been to a boat show in years! Do you know the saying:” A boat is a hole in the ocean in which one throws a lot of money”? It’s true! Everyone I knew in Brooklyn who owned a boat said they were very expensive to maintain and run. However, if I were a millionaire I would love to own a sailboat.
those are some very impressive machines. I guess if you buy such a big boat one should live at the ocean with the opportunuity to cross over 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a boat show, but I enjoyed your trip! I’d like a ride on the amphibious vehicle when you buy it, please. 🙂
