Lots to Look Forward to While Waiting for Spring

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…more boat shows coming up, featuring all sorts of new models. Calgary, Halifax, Edmonton, Seattle and Miami all are gearing up for shows in Feb. If you're lucky enough to be in Halifax for their show consider sticking around for the Nova Scotia Marine Industry conference. Feb 25th. This issue we also are featuring some fabulous new products that will be worth reading about. Talk to us anytime on Twitter @BoatIndCan. Happy reading!
