On this week’s show, we start with a look at the 2026 New York Boat Show!
The show was scheduled for January 21 to 25, but it closed a day early because of the huge NYC snow storm that closed a lot of the city.
I roamed the boat show floor looking for unusual things, and found a Avalon 23′ pontoon boat with “the floating flame”, a BBQ pit said to be the only one approved for boats, or something like that. But, as you’ll see in the video, a company spokespersons there’s really no laws for or against fire pits on boats, but they’re the only company doing it right now…. You can check their website all the details yourself if you’re interested. Because wakes on the Hudson River with tugs, sightseeing boats, even small freighters, I’d never have an open flame on a boat I owned unless it was Coast Guard approved. When I vsited the Floating Flame website, the device had a MSRP of $1199.00.
