This year’s Key West Boat Show offered attendees the chance to see boats up close which didn’t really inspire much.� Not very inspirational at all, actually.� There were maybe a dozen boats, many of which were a brand (Sea Chaser) known for its strength in the budget category.� These were not dream boats, for the most part.� There was a nice Sea Cat outfitted with lots of fishing boxes, a huge live well, and millions of compartments for gear, etc, but pretty much the 2010 Key West Boat Show was a bust.

This is a Used Boat for Sale

As for the vendors, don’t even bother.� Want a polyester T-shirt?� How about a bronze mermaid windmill?� Or some jewelry?� There was some no-name dive gear on sale, and a book tent with 50% off books.� But wow, what a bust.� I guess nobody’s buying expensive boats these days, so it makes more sense to have Sea Chasers and used boats for sale on the lot, like the one in this picture.
