> The Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly will host
> dozens of dealers displaying hundreds of 2014 boat
> models and accessories, said Dave Body, show
> manager. The show will offer a wide range of
> runabouts, saltwater fishing boats, ski boats,
> pontoons, deck boats, jet boats, jon boats, and
> personal watercraft.
>
> Experts will be on hand to give information and
> answer questions about boats, marinas, financing,
> insurance, boat maintenance and repair, and
> boating safety.

> “This is the perfect opportunity for boaters to
> get a first look at an impressive variety of all
> models,” said Body. “The market ebbs and
> flows, but the pontoon boat, because it has a
> large capacity, is real popular now.”
>
> Chantilly has always been a good market because of
> the high proportion of two-income families in the
> area, Body said. The market is also young: the
> average of a Chantilly resident average is 36.1
> with an estimated median household income in 2011
> was $117,567 (up from $87,991 in 2000), according
> to Census data.
>
> Dealers like to bring their larger boats, up to
> 35-feet-long, to the show, he said. The Expo
> Center is a big facility, making it a good venue
> for the large boats. The show runs from March
> 7-9.
