Beautiful Muskoka Weekend

Muskoka was full of people this weekend and everyone was out taking advantage of a beautiful winter day. The sun was bright, the skys were clear and the temperature was just right.

The lakes were busy with snowmobilers, hikers and cross country skiiers. It was a great weekend for snowshoeing through the forest or just walking the dog.

Deer were out wandering and the turkeys were strutting. The odd eagle could be spotted soaring over the lakes. Everyone and everything was out to enjoy the weather.

Our winter wonderland has spent the day melting away, but the snow is to start up again later today.

Muskoka is beautiful and it's weekends like this that show us how special it really is.

Toronto Boat Show Booth Sets World Record

With over 22,000 square feet of floor space the Pride Marine Booth has been recognized as the largest single indoor boat display in the world. With 8 brands represented the booth was put together over 60 hours with the help of 30 people. The key changes for 2010 include the move to include both Hackercraft and Tiara Yachts in the booth. Previously they had been separate stand alone booths. Come down and see what its all about this week at the Toronto International Boat Show.



The much anticipated release of the new Nautique Ski 200 has been a huge success in Toronto. With a new hull design and retro look this new 20’ boat has slalom skiers around the globe talking. Nautique’s ski team is ecstatic with the new boat and wake shape. The interior features a 95” beam and the layout feels much larger than either the 196 or 206. Side storage is large and the boat is available either as an open or closed bow boat while maintaining the exact same weight.
We are proud to announce the addition of Chaparral boats to the Pride family. Pride will represent Chaparral for the Muskoka region including Haliburton and the edge of Georgian Bay. Chaparral offers a range of product from 18-40 feet in length and is well recognized for both quality and innovation in the boating industry. Their Extreme series leads the pack in terms of Wakeboarding outfitted inboard/outboards and have a very distinct look.
ChrisCraft stepped it up again this year with another Limited Edition model. The Red 20’ Lancer GT features a clear engine cover and a dark mahogany accent in place of the traditional teak. This shot shows last season’s Limited Edition model the “Silver Bullet”. The Chris Craft area is a must see for anyone coming to check out the show.

Keep watching for updates from the boatshow.
Don't miss out, the show ends this Sunday January 14th.
