Should I attend all four Idaho boat shows?
The short answer is yes! Boat shows offer customers the unique opportunity to compare different boat manufacturers and models in one place–making it easier for you to find your dream boat. In addition to the opportunity to compare all types of boats, boat shows allow you to meet the teams behind the products. From service to accessories and everything in between, each dealership is like a family with a unique culture and offerings. By getting to know the teams, you’re familiarizing yourself with everything that comes along with your new boat.
How to attend all four boat shows
If you have the luxury, start your boat show tour in Spokane on January 25. This will give you a day or two to see everything the Spokane Boat Show has to offer. Next, take a weekend trip to Boise for the Boise Boat Show from January 27-29. From there, you’ll have a little more wiggle room when it comes to visiting the North Idaho Boat Show and CDA Boat Expo. If you’re local, you can spread out your visits, or if you’re visiting the Coeur d’Alene area, you can easily visit both shows when they overlap the weekend of February 2-4. By planning out your visits, you’ll ensure that you’re able to see the best of the best and find the perfect boat for you and your family.
