Didn't take a ton of pics, the lower end stuff looked all the same as the last 2 years. Two things I noticed this year:
1 - Even though production is up with OEMs and the economy is better than a year ago, there were less top of the line toons present.
2 - Black or dark anodizing is IN! LOTS of toons with dark railing and rub rails. Sylvan even had painted tubes.
Enjoy the pics

WOW! Beautiful!
Toons really changed in just a few years, they are works of art anymore, thanks for posting those pics.

I also noticed the black tubes...was told they were powder coated. Also it looks like everyone is going to a flat finish on the genuine imitation burl wood on the consoles instead of gloss. I myself prefer the gloss finish.
Was down at the Indy show this past weekend...about the same...few high end toons...lots of wake boats.

I took my wife to Boston boat show to sell her on the fish n cruise layout, everything was high end cruise/bar units $70.000 plus. and huge ocean fishers, to many rich people in Boston I guess.
