S.C.O.P.E. Visits LA Boat Show

To start the year off and get us all motivated, some S.C.O.P.E. members got together as a group to visit the LA Boat Show on the opening day, Saturday March 2nd. Entrance tickets to the show were compliments of Dick Simon Marine. If you missed the S.C.O.P.E. gathering, be sure to catch the show anyway. It lasts until March 10th.

Thanks Dick Simon, from S.C.O.P.E. !

	As is tradition, Dick Simon Marine displays three inventory boats right in the front of the show. In this show case display was a Reggie Fountain Special Edition 42 footer!
	Of course, we had to wait around for Ron Songrath (and company) to show up before we all posed for this photo.
	Being an "offshore" enthusiast boating club and interested in POWER, we made our way to the various motor builders too. Paul Pfaff, Bob Teague and Mercury Marine.
	Too much to list here, there were all types of boats, and too many kinds of hardware to mention. Somehow, we managed to cover most of the show in a short six hour period. One major boat that stuck out was a work in progress.....a custom built RED 54 foot Hallet for Terrible Herbst Enterprises. Also, a beautiful 46 foot Skater in a pleasure configuration was displayed at the front curb to the show. The name was "Lick This".
