Hobie is always very well represented at the Atlantic City Sail Expo each year. I may be wrong, but I believe that the show is the largest indoor sailboat show in the US. I have attended and helped my dealer at the show each of the last three years. The organizers have given Hobie the best spot in the show - right at the main enterance.

In 2002 the boats on display included an FX-1 (one of the first in US), Tiger, Getaway, Wave and Kayaks. In 2003 they had the 16, Tiger, Wave, Bravo, and Kayaks.

Last year Hobie offered boat shows specials with free accessories with purchases. I got $500 worth of accesories with my new 16. So I think Hobie is still spending a decent amount of marketing dollars on boat shows.
