Yep. Have been and have noticed good deals. $20 to get in. Lean on them. Worth the entry purely for the boat porn. Shockwave and Northbank my picks for best boats on show. The Steyr engines are impressive for their compactness. 

Bottom line with pricing is if you don't ask, you don't get.

I don't know if I'm becoming jaded or not but this years boat show had nothing on display that really made me look hard at the displays, except some of the prices being asked for some of the boats and boating bling.

Some of the boats where absolutely outstanding in design and price you certainly wouldn't want to rub fenders with whilst coming along side at the launching jetty.

Any way Il'd be interested in hearing your views.
