Well im off to my first boat show. Nearly 2 years after i decided to buy a boat

Booked to look around the Manhattan 55 and a few others this weekend

Any boat show advice & tips would be much appreciated?

Don’t smoke your pipe on board.

 

[Wansworth]

And get a proper cap?

 

[Mr Googler]

Have a shave too ??

Ask for Colin Rowles…he’s a really straight forward chap ?

 

[Bouba]

The best advice for any boat show is to wear slip on shoes. And if necessary have a shoehorn in your pocket ???

And make sure you don’t have holes in socks?

Anyone in the market for a new Manhattan 55 probably has nice socks! Probably has his own sock drawer

Well i was going to wear Flip-Flops but the weather is a bit grey and my partner said i looked like the "The Man from Delmonte' so i changed into a pair of trainers

 

[Mr Googler]

The Man from Delmonte would have someone to buy his boats for him ??

I think it’s a great idea to dress like a scruff and buy an expensive boat. If only to show those girls who guard the boats that they shouldn’t reject people who look like me

[Wansworth]

I used to work with a ’friend’ who was obscenely
rich.

He went to look at a new Lotus in jeans and t shirt. the dealer basically threw him out. So he went to a competitor and brought one there, drove back to the first and in true Pretty Woman style told the salesman that he hoped that the loss of commission wasn’t going to be an issue.
