Most Belle Maer boaters will certainly want to mark their calendars for February 11-19 when the 54th Annual Detroit Boat Show opens at Cobo Center. This year’s show will feature hundreds of boats of all sizes for fishing, cruising, skiing, tubing and other boating lifestyle activities.

In addition to the multitude of boats, motors and accessories, the Detroit Boat Show offers special features that make this event fun for the entire family. A day at the Detroit Boat Show is a well deserved taste of summer, and a needed break from the middle of a Michigan winter.

Happenings From SkipperBud's

Tom from SkipperBud's is busy preparing for the upcoming winter Boat Shows.

This is important for a couple of reasons. First of all, I hope to see everyone in February at the Detroit Boat Show. I will be spending my time in the Tiara/Cruisers booth.

Secondly, there will also be a brokerage display at the show. SkipperBud's is the largest Broker in the Great Lakes. At each show we participate in (Detroit, Toronto, Chicago, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids), we also present the complete company inventory of pre-owned boats. There is no other broker in the Detroit area who can make that claim. If you or anyone you know is looking to either buy or sell a boat, there are alot of reasons to use SkipperBud's.

In addition, like 2011, 2012 will see more new boats here at Belle Maer. There will generally be a new Tiara, Cruisers, Four Winns and maybe even a Marquis in the water on B row. Come and see how the boat business is evolving with such innovations as the new pod drive systems, new electronics, new construction techniques and more. You might even consider trading that much loved vessel of yours in on a new boat!

I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. April 1st will come quickly.

- Tom Walker, SkipperBud’s
