A new trailer boat show has been organised by the Boating Industry Association of Queensland (BIAQ) in October. The Gold Coast Trailer Boat Show will be held in Carrara from October 26-28.
BIAQ Events and marketing manager Farrokh Golchin said in a statement that the Gold Coast Trailer Boat Show will be the only industry endorsed boat show on the Gold Coast for the trailerable segment of the market. Golchin said that major Gold Coast retailers highlighted the need for such a show.
"Although there is a trend towards larger boats on the Gold Coast, more than 80 per cent of the 26,000 registered boats in the region are under six metres in length," said Golchin in the statement. "This highlights the popularity of trailer storage in the Gold Coast recreational boat market and is a major driving force in the six per cent annual growth rate of boat ownership in Queensland.
Golchin said the Nerang River would be the ideal backdrop for the indoor/outdoor show, with plenty of on-water activity, including water skiing, wake boarding and the final round of the Queensland Open Bream Tournament championship. Golchin said there had been an "overwhelming response" from potential exhibitors.
