After finishing taking photographs at Repticon for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution I hopped in my car and traveled down to the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta to check out the 2013 Atlanta Boat Show. Thousands of people were inside checking out the newest offerings from some of the most well known boat manufacturers in the world. There were fishing boats, wave runners, jet skis, ski boats, trawlers and yachts all on display and available for people to climb aboard and get an up close and personal look at. The show lasted from Thursday through Sunday and also included a fishing hole for children as well as live question and answer sessions with people in the industry.
