Greater Philadelphia Boat Show Happening This Weekend

By Jim Melwert

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Greater Philadelphia Boat show is going on this weekend, out in Montgomery County.

It features over 20 dealers from four states, and dozens more booths.

"Finally it seems like the weather is cooperating and people can start thinking about the spring and summer time."

That show organizer David Posner says there are all kinds of powerboats here, from pontoon boats, personal watercraft, ski boats, and salt water fishing.

"This is the opportunity to come out and find the perfect boat, it saves time and trouble, you don't have to drive around dealer after dealer. They're all here."

Posner says while the dealers are the main draw, there are dozens of booths hosting everything from marinas to other boating accessories.

He says they've been running this show in the Philadelphia suburbs for about 20-years, at the Fort Washington Expo Center, now here at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks.

Tickets are $8 at the door.
