Bayliner Boats - Bass Pro Boat Show

Hi gang, Rick here at Bayliner Boats. The Bass Pro Boat Show continues at Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World, 100 Bass Pro Drive, Bossier City. For Bruce Brown and Bobby Dugas it was just another day at the office.

The two men are freshwater and saltwater fishing and boating representatives for Bass Pro Shops and Tracker Marine boats.

Both were at the Bass Pro Boat Show on Saturday to promote boating. The show, which began on Friday, will run through Jan. 20. Today, the boat show will be from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The show attracted hundreds of lookee-loos to Bossier City's Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World along with many buyers. Tracker Marine displayed all its new 2008 products including fishing, ski, pontoon and cruising boats.

"We're just out having fun," said Linda Bankston, who was there with her daughter, Azlynn Bankston and friend Johnny Owens.

"We've sold a lot of boats today," said Maggie Frantz, Tracker sales representative.

Boats at the show went from about $5,000 to as high as $50,000. Many people took advantage of the show special of 10 percent off.

Incentives include free trips for buyers, according to Tracker Marine's Jarrod Bishop.

But, what really are the best boats to buy?

"A 24-foot Mako or a Tracker Nitro," Brown and Dugas said.

Aside from lots of boats, Saturday's day of the show included a visit from Curly Neal of the Harlem Globetrotters who signed autographs for the enthralled crowd. The Shreveport Power Squadron also was on hand to answer questions about boating and safety equipment.

The boat show even had a visit from Hollywood. Director and actor Harold Ramis (Ghostbusters, Baby Boom) was among those admiring the boats at Bass Pro Shops.

The show continues today with free giveaways, free brats, free hot dogs, and free Coke both days. Thanks to Jane Bokun at shreveporttimes.com fot this.
