forced to shift three years ago
when Uncle Sam took over
Grand Central Palace.
Directors of the sponsoring

vote soon on whether to return

would be held in the nearly
completed New York Coliseum
at Columbus Circle. It would
mean. among other things, less

There are plenty of pros and
cons on this issue, including
whether exhibitors want to 90

Exhibit Boots

NEW YORK. Jan. 14.-Five
Chesapeake Bay firms are ex-
lhibiting in the National Motor
Boat show this year, a slight de-
cline from recent years.
The biggest Of them all Is
Owens Yacht Co. of Baltimore
which produces wide range OF
stock cruisers now known in
many parts of the world. Its Of
ferings for 1856 range from a IA
foot cupboard runabout to a 35-
foot handsome, flying bridge job,
The price range is just as varied
--$395 to $16.500.

fans from all over the country
were liking what they saw.
Exhibitors, expecting contin
ued large crowds to the 46ti
annual National Motor Boa
Show for the next week. were
confident that new records woult
be set in sales and numbers
going afioat this coming season
For some boat builders 1t wa!
a question Of asking patience
of customers-their production
isn't keeping up with demand.
Family Outboards Popular
Here are some of the high
lights of a marine show filled
with highlights:
l. A mounting interest in out.
board boats and runabouts bis
enough for the whole family
It was no mere coincidence that
the first visitor checked in al
the shows opening last night
was a Long Island boating en-
thusiast. Accompanied by his
4-year-old son. he was looking
for an cupboard cruiser.
2. An increasing awareness on
the part of dealers that boat
financing is sound and can help
families go afioat as Detroit auto
manufacturers discovered many
years ago for the motoring pub
lie. Typical was the sign on a
beautiful 33-foot Leek Pace
maker with a $4,000 price tag:
Convenient time payments" 1t
could be applied all the way down
to little runabouts.
ColOrs Eye-Catching
3. A heavy emphasis on eye
catching color combinations
from a purple cupboard motor
offered by Evinrude to a golden
sail on Ray Greene's 16-foot
Rebel sailboat. In between you
could find any hue Of the rain
bow and a few even nature
hasn't produced. All this. it ap-
peared was aimed at catching
the feminine eye and, obviously,
making it easier for the man OF
the family to put over his par
ticular boating project for this
season.
4. More and more use of syn
thetic materials for hulls, fittings
and sails-products that are
crowding out the traditional
wood and metal. For instance,
there is Sudbury Laboratories
transparent rowing pram made
OF f1berglas and a new dupont
synthetic called Mylar for sails.
The latter looks like cellophane
