At the show, visitors will find more than 600 boats for every budget and lifestyle, hundreds of marine accessories, as well as an array of educational seminars from sailing to fishing and more, plus nautical fun for the whole family.
As a boat owner and having a cabin on Lake Allatoona, I love this show — but my non-boating friends enjoy it too!
Check out the top reasons to visit the show this year:
