If you prefer high-speed on the water, you probably prefer power boats over sail. Then again, maybe you just don't want to have to depend on a breeze to even move on the water, to get from one place to another.
The Annual Fall Power Boat Show in Annapolis, Oct. 11-14, will offer you plenty of options - all power, and all new.
Thursday, Oct. 11, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Press/VIP Day($30)
Friday-Saturday, Oct. 12-13, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
Sunday, Oct. 14, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
General admission tickets are $16 for adults and $8 for children under 12. You can order your tickets online or purchase them on-site.
Spend the day boarding and inspecting new power boats, and take advantage of the opportunity to learn about financing, insurance, electronics and anything else you could ever want to know about power-boating including:
- Power boats ranging from racers and catamarans to trawlers, houseboats and yachts
- The latest navigation technology
- Boating products, accessories, equipment and gear
- Information about services such as marinas, insurance and maintenance

Lisa - Thank you for noticing. I hope it's not subtle for consumers!
Patricia - I agree, I'm a sailor at heart, but sometimes you gotta at least have an auxiliary motor on a sailboat.
Paula - I'm coming along with my Tomato blogsite... maybe another week. Thanks for the reference! There is something about the water... when you're out on a boat, it just seems like you're insulated from the world!
Aziz - Aren't the boat shows fun? What a great excuse for a trip to Annapollis ('thought lines at the restaurant are a bit annoying).
Adam, thank you! Every year, I try to take advantage of the opportunity to reach this market! 'Never succeeded before, even holding waterfront properties open and advertising them in DC and Baltimore during the sailboat and powerboat shows, but maybe blogging will change everything. I'll let you know.
Tom, that's very true! A lot of people are doing exactly that on and around the Chesapeake Bay.
