Just wondering if this was worth attending? I want to look at Lund boats and the available colors but if this is mainly big water glass boats I will stay home.

Be rest assured, there will be a huge mix of "walleye" boats...inland Minnesota style as well as some big water boats, including a good mix of Lunds.

Thanks some shows have more of the walkin cabin cruisers than fishing boats. Thinking of buying a white lund with quicksilver bottom and midnight star carpet. want to see one in person first..

I would go to a dealer to see the boat you want! $10 to park and $9 to get in the door! The St. Paul shows are always much smaller than the MPLS shows and cost more! Go to a dealer and save your money.

I went to this last year out of boredum. It's primarily fishing boats. There was a very big presence from Crystal Pierz and Frankies had a few boats too. For the $20 parking and admission cost I'd hold out for the Sportsshow at the Convention Center in a few weeks. Or go to a Lund Dealer.

It's a smaller show though, maybe they'll be more inclined to make a "deal."

The cost to get in the show is $7.50. ($6.50 with a coupon) And if you pay to park in downtown St. Paul on a weekend, you are nuts!

I agree, that this show aint the greatest. But there are a lot of fishing boats, plenty of Lunds will be there I'm sure. The whole atmosphere is liad back, the dealers have time to talk and answer questions.

It's one step up from watching fishing shows on TV!
