LIVE: Boat Show Highlights Latest Tech and Features for the Water

With the warm winter we're having, we might be ready to hit the lakes a lot sooner this year. Thankfully, there's a boat show at the Fargodome to help you prepare.

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – With the warm winter we’re having, we might be ready to hit the lakes a lot sooner this year. Thankfully, there’s a boat show at the Fargodome to help you prepare.

The 32nd annual Red River Valley Boat and Marine Products Show runs through Sunday.
Hundreds of boats are filling the floor of the Fargodome.
Every year there’s a bunch of new stuff, from extravagant boats that cost half a million dollars to boats with built-in diving boards.
While the boats are the main draw, there’s also tons of new tech for anglers looking for the latest hand up when it comes to chasing those fish.

Show organizer Barry Cenaiko says, “Every six months or so you’ve got new products coming out, and kind of the new big thing now is forward-facing sonar. So they’re here and you tell them where your lake is and tell them what kind of boat you’re on, they’re gonna personalize the electronic suite to you, and also tell you what you don’t need.”

There are also demos throughout the weekend showing off some of that new fishing tech. Click here for the full boat show schedule and information on tickets.
