Keeny - On The Esplanade?
Keeny - was it tucked into the corner of the esplanade again? Yes, that's where my boat hunting started 3 years ago. Bought ours at the mandurah Boat show later that year. Certainly the Mandurah boat show was (then, and presumably now still) much, much bigger, with lot's more room and displays. Unless things will (have) change(d), lots more room and displays - but you need to get there early if you want to park your car reasonably close.

Hmmm
Hmmm, sounds like nothing's changed then, it was far too small and congested. For my money, the Mandurah Boat show was far better, even with the entry fee.

Freo!
The Fremantle Boat Show was small when compared to other shows but they do focus on a "Festival" atmosphere more so than a full on exhibition imo. It was good for a look see and definately a free bee show at that. I did well down there and glad the weather held out compared to what they forecasted!
