Tampa Bay Jet Boat Show Aug. 14-15

Tampa Bay megadealer Barney’s Motorsports is putting on the Tampa Bay Jet Boat Show the weekend of August 14-15 at the Holiday Inn Sunspree in St. Petersburg. Interested consumers can check out the line of jet boats from both Yamaha and Sea-Doo, as well as get a free demo ride, enjoy free food and drinks, even participate in a Sunday poker run if they choose.

According to Barney’s, the dealership will be offering special dealer pricing on all display models during the show. Might be a good opportunity for anyone to get a late-season deal on the 2010 models, as 2011 announcements are just around the corner.

For information on the show go to www.barneys.net, or call 727/576-1148.
