Mid-Atlantic Boat Show - 2015 Hightlights

The Lake Wylie Man team visited the Mid-Atlantic boat show last week.  We go every year, just to stay informed on the latest on Lake Wylie.  We see new dock and boat lift designs, solutions for various situations on the lake, and interesting offerings for current and potential lake property owners.



We always stop by the booth of the Lake Wylie Marine commission and Charlotte Power Squadron to catch up on boat safety news and pick up brochures for our Lake Wylie waterfront buyers.  We chatted with our friends at DockMasters and WaterJack about some of the dock building projects that our recent real estate buyers have in the works.


Once you have your dock in place, sometime you need a little help getting the boat parked.  One solution for nighttime docking is a set of underwater boat lights:


An easy way to secure your boat to almost ANY dock is The Dock Key, a little device that attaches to your boat rope, then with an easy twist, you're tied up!  No need for a cleat.  Whether you're visiting friends on the lake or tying up at T-Bones, it is a quick and easy way to dock your boat.

Of course, David Coone was magnetically drawn to the Classic and Antique Boat display.  One of our favorite builders, Dana Anthony Homes, is also a collector and restorer of classic boats, and he was at the display with two of his collection.  The aluminum Feathercraft was a show favorite:


Then, there was some other fun stuff.  How about this 2-story pontoon boat with built-in slide?



I don't know about you, but all of us with The Lake Wylie Man team are ready for fun on the lake.  The Lake Wylie real estate market is starting to heat up, and we have lots of Lake Wylie waterfront properties for sale right now.  Maybe one is right for you?
