Looking for boat shoes?
Ted
Are those things really any good or do people wear them like a Yankee's ball cap?hmason said:boat shoes
Wifey B: Hope Oliver doesn't take my shoes. He'll look quite cute though. Or maybe he'd like heels. Or he could steal hubbies shoes but then he would look clownish. Guess he can stuff enough paper into a size 13
Wifey B, high heeled Topsiders?
I was going to try to avoid it but Canada Metal asked me to sell their anchors again. My buddy Darrel is going to man the booth but I guess I'll have to go up for some of it.
The latest Riviera mag tells me Riviera( aka Riv) have sent 4 big shiny new Rivs to the Show. Essentially high powered cruisers with planing ability, they operate fine at trawler speeds and have a reputation for good build quality and longevity. Just a matter of accepting the acres of white gelcoat, and wondering how they get 1/8" of glossy varnish on the interior woodwork.
Deleted the Riv mag so can`t check the number. 2 could be from an indirect source, or it could have been 6, either way 6 Rivs sent all that way is a lot of boats. All the more remarkable considering Riv had a " near death experience" post GFC.Latest listing shows them with 6 boats there-a 47' SUV, 56' SUV, 56' Fly, 60' SUV, 60' Fly, and a 63' Sport Yacht. All with Volvo IPS.

Is Maritimo ( current brand of Bill Barry-Cotter a prior owner who started Riv) exhibiting? Expect similarities.
That`s impressive. I`m always amazed when, with our wage structure, we can make something and sell in into overseas markets. Are the boats really price competitive or do they fill a gap in the market?Maritimo has a 50', 53', 58', and 68' shown on the tentative listing of boats there.
