The largest display of trailerboats at any single location in Queensland – that’s one of the ways the organisers are describing the 2015 Gold Coast International Marine Expo at Coomera from May 21-24.
The massive hardstand display of trailerboats is perhaps only equalled in scope and variety by the huge range of new and brokerage yachts and sailing vessels available at Expo this year.
And while the event's Emma Milne said that there is always plenty of interest in the larger luxury yachts at Expo, there'll be just as much interest in the range of fishing, family fun, specialty water sports boats, houseboats, party pontoons and sailing vessels.
"Most people get their first taste of the joys and rewards of boating life aboard a trailerboat … and many actually prefer the versatility of a boat that you can take with you anywhere," she said.
"We will have all the major trailer boating brands here at Expo – a mammoth display of big and small boats – in fact over 400 boats."
Some of the major marques included among the growing list of exhibitors are Bayliner, Baysport, BRIG, Crest Liner, Cabriolet, Formosa, Four Winns, Haines Hunter, Havana, Horizon, Quintrex, Savage, Sealegs, Sirocco, Stacer, Tournament and Wellcraft … to name just some.
"In fact Quintrex will showcase all of its 2015 range exclusively at the Expo, most of them being seen for the first time at a boat show anywhere in the world, as part of their biggest ever boat show display," said Milne.
"We will also have a huge range of outboards and accessories, including the major brands such as Evinrude, Honda, Mercury and Yamaha, in addition to a vast array of fish-finders, depth-sounders, rod-holders, winches … in fact everything you need to enjoy your time on the water, all in one place right here at Expo."
