With Jeff on vacation, Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk decided to have some fun…at the Jacksonville Boat Show! And being the nice guys they were, they invited Capt. Chip Wingo to join in the festivities.

Good thing they were inside, because the outside was no place to be at all. After a downright frigid week, the headline was all about the cold, the snow, the ice, and everything else.

But make no mistake, there were a bunch of incredible boats, motors, gadgets and gizmos sitting right in front of the boys for the duration of the show.
