We saw, we came, we conquered... starting at 8 at IHOP for breakfast with fellow BOC'ers and IBoatNW'ers, we hit the show at opening of 10 AM. Got through all the big boats and toured the vendors, ran into Pau Hana at his boat insurance kiosk and entered every contest we could find. Did not have to buy much for the boat and we just bought stuff like a can of baby wipe kind of material for removing tar, magic marker, etc. Also found some stainless steel firewire skewers for the BBQ. Other than that, found some beautiful boats. I really liked the new Cutwater 28. Very unique designs built in like cockpit seats that fold out over the sides of the hull, a transom seat that folds to face forward or rear to watch from the swim step. It also had a nice secondary controls for the engine and steering in the cockpit. had forward and stern thrusters as standard. Weighed in at 6,500 pounds and was 8'6" wide and made to trailer. In fact, it has integral rear trailer lights built into the stern corners. Nice layout interior including the standard fridge, a wine cooler, full electric stove and oven, sink, electric head and shower, flat screen TV in forward berth, yanmar 260 diesel, 100 gal fuel, 40 gal water and 30 gal black water, electric hatch over the engine, winch, bow sprint with built in beach ladder, lots of hatches in the cockpit and forward berth, un real amount of storage and a double berth under the dinette. Anyway, fell in love with that 28.here is the website and a few photos:http://www.cutwaterboats.com/We then hit the in water portion of the show around 2PM and did many walk throughs... finished up at Daniels Broiler...
