The Discover Boating Center returns this year to awaken Houstonians to the world of water thrills at the 2004 Houston International Boat, Sport and Travel Show, January 9-18 at Reliant Center. Boating prospects and potential first-time buyers will find answers to many common questions by taking advantage of this valuable information resource. The center features a variety of boats, from runabouts, to pontoons, to aluminum fishing boats, that can be purchased for $199 a month or less.

Many people have a vision of themselves out on the water, but do not know the type of boat they should buy, how to obtain the necessary training to boat confidently and safely, and if their current family vehicle would be adequate for towing. By providing a pressure-free environment where potential boat owners feel comfortable, the Discover Boating Center eliminates the knowledge gap that creates uninformed purchases. Show-goers are free to gaze at the boats and peruse the available information without the pressure of a salesperson.

Past visitors to the Discover Boating Center have reported that it helped prepare them to ask informed questions and to navigate the purchase process with confidence. Current boaters whose changing lifestyles draw them to new boating categories can also benefit from this show service.

Let the Discover Boating center show you how to enjoy one of Texas' most beloved recreations. Visit the Discover Boating exhibit exclusively at the 2004 Houston International Boat, Sport and Travel Show.
