Message From The Editor
Will I see you at IBEX?
It might not surprise you to learn that the IBEX Show in Tampa that's on from September 26 to 29th is my favorite show marine industry show.
With aisles full of both the tried and true as well as the new and experimental, I'm going to see a range of both products and processes that will give me a lot to think about in the coming year. It is always a preview of exciting new features, electronics and hardware that I’m going to be seeing at the upcoming boat shows from now until next spring. I’m like a kid in a candy store.
