So has anyone received tickets to the NYC boat show this year from GW? The past few years I've had friends and family get a few but haven't heard much this year..

I haven't received them for a few years now. I suspect they get the list from local dealers - call Dante or Buddy.

Virtually free tickets. I purchased them online yesterday, (last day for online discount) for $10.00 and selected a refund of $7.00 for not selecting a magazine subscription. Saltwater Sportsman was not on the list. $3 for ticket is cheap enough.

I emailed one of the local Grady dealers and asked. He is leaving them at will call.

so I take it that it is S.O.P for dealers or boat manufacturers to give boat show tix to good customers? I have purchased 3 GW in the last year and a half and have yet to get a free boat show ticket. Come to think of it...other than a tote bag that came with the 336 I have gotten nothing from Grady (in all fairness my 360 is not delivered yet) but maybe I'll hit up my dealer for boat show tickets in Boston.

I feel like a schmuck.

My father received tickets for years after he purchased his new Gulfstream in 05 and I know of a few others that got tickets too, but I never received any even after the new Marlin purchase. But I got an invite from Pursuit this year if I made an appt. they would meet me at the door escort us in and even check out coats. My father did get a ticket from Evinrude this year which is kinda funny because he hasnt owned an Evinrude for about 6 years.

My dealer sent me tickets yesterday. I guess I should have just asked. They still rock! :goodjob
