Looking to upgrade but there's very slim pickings when it comes to tin dealers in NJ.
What boat or outdoor show have you seen the most tin boats at?

Most dealers only bring to shows high dollar and high margin boats. Why? Because they are selling. Economy is supporting $70,000.00 dollar boats.
the show that comes around to Tulsa every January has a ton of tin boats every year and always has some really good deals on the previous year models.

The fishing expo in suffern ny had the best selection of boats tin and glass in the area.
I always enjoy going to the Milwaukee boat show. Although more pleasure boats than fishing boats, the show always has a good selection of fishing boats, from small tin rigs to large glass rigs. Last year was more fun than this year though because I was actually shopping at the time and not just looking. The fishing show in Madison always has a good selection of only fishing boats on display to look at and climb in.
If you're located halfway between New York and Philadelphia, I would think you can find a decent show somewhere within a 1 1/2 hour drive. They are normally held over the winter months. It would be well worth the travel to get to see the boats in person before making a decision. I wouldn't order a new boat based upon the internet and a brochure.

Highway Marine? I visited them to check out Crestliner before I bought. They have a big facility, but the salesmen were super pushy and gave me a terrible price on the boat. I wound up buying from Nick Roberti in Kingston, NY; would be about 3 hours for you. One of the nicest guys I've ever met. No lie. When I was researching boats and talking to dealers, I wound up in a Crestliner because I wanted to buy from him. He doesn't really stock boats though, so you wouldn't be able to see it from him, but if you like what you see you should give him a ring.
