New for 2024, a Ford Bronco simulator will give attendees a feel for off-roading.
Super luxury and classic cars will also be on display.
Boat Show
In terms of watercraft, expect boating displays with cutting-edge designs and time-tested classics. This year, event organizers say the spotlight shines on several standout brands like the ‘world’s biggest bay boat,’ the Carolina Bay 3100, and the sleek new 2024 G25 Paragon from Nautique.
Other brands that will have a presence include LOWE Boats, known for their Aluminum Fish Boats, Triton Fiberglass Boats with their Bass Boats and Fish N Ski, Blazer high-performance boats, Solace, Tidewater, and Yellowfin, plus Mercury Outboards.
The Bass Tub with professional angler Chuck Devereaux is making a return to the show. Devereaux will conduct fishing demonstrations in a massive 5,000-gallon, 40-foot-long, 9-foot-tall Bass Tub aquarium fully stocked with rocks, stumps, and live fish.
