But if peeps bitch about spending 100 bucks for parking/tickets/food/beer just driving to LA, they sure as hell are not gonna drive 3-6 hours to havasu and need to get rooms, ect for the day/weekend.īlah, blah. It would be cool if it could because it has so much too offer. I gotta agree with Dave, there is no way imo at this time do I see the havasu show being what LA is and or ever was. Some things get brought to LA and are shown to builders by invite only and are then shown in to public in Florida. I dont really know if they brought anything to havasu that they havn't had in LA.ĭont forget the LA dates and the Florida dates are very close together and the newest things to be shown/revealed will go to Florida. Mercury attends several events in havasu each year. Having Teague as a major sponsor I think also turned up the madness too. Lakeracer is always there to promote the Desert Storm Poker Run and this year I can't help but think that he played a factor in having some big hardware there.

The Havasu show this year was smaller than years past, I thought. Awesome spring weather with a lake view, cold beer and a few spring breakers in bikini's is all good. 02 - things to take into consideration, location, location, location. And I know it looked a little different on Saturday and Sunday as a few players came in late. I enjoyed looking around at the Havasu show on Friday. Builders are watching every dime in hopes they can get past these hard times. Actually, might even be a reason there were less boats from havasu there this year. A little too late, now there are not too many CA builders that want to pay to barely play.

Now, time's have recently changed over the past 2-3 years and what was a new lhcma executive director see's the dollar signs and allows CA builders to come.

Then I thought, well, I live here in town and would like to see the locals be able to keep thier jobs and sorta respected it. This used to drive me crazy because I felt they just didnt want to have the competition in sales, ect. Generally its all the local havasu builders and they (LHCMA) have had history of not wanting to allow CA builders to come. This is the 1st time I have ever seen the venue like this in Havasu.
