METS 2012: Vote of Confidence for 25th METS

METS 2012 ended on a high note for a cautious industry, bringing sparkle to the year. “The atmosphere has been brilliant, with high attendance levels reinforcing the fact that the concept of METS stands firm,” said METS Domain Manager Irene Dros. “There could have been no greater vote of confidence for our 25th anniversary event.”

Vibrant networking and social events added extra buzz to the largest show to date, international visitor attendance was around 2% up on last year and exhibitor numbers – at 1,318 – dropped only marginally when compared with the record breaking 2011 figure of 1,331. Future confidence also runs high. An unprecedented 43% of exhibitors pre-booked stand space for 2013 before METS 2012 drew to a close.

As of July 1st, 2024 the embargo is lifted on the photos and information about Four Winns’ new H9 model and it is stunning!

About a month ago, I traveled to Charlevoix, MI for a special press event to introduce the H9 to a small group of journalists. The water and the weather were a bit cool but the sun was out and Lake Charlevoix was calm and the Four Winns H9 was very impressive. This is a 29-foot 11-inch luxury day boat with a 9- foot 2-inch beam and it features a fabulous expansive flat floor all the way from the bow rider area to the transom and the swim platform.
