CBS 58

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- It's snowing outside, but inside the Wisconsin State Fair Expo Center, it's only summer on everyone's mind. 

The Milwaukee Boat Show is eight days of pontoons, yachts, fishing boats and more. This year, there are more than 20 local boat dealers and 300 boats on display. If you're shopping, they promise to offer some of their best deals of the year. If you just want to walk through boats and check out the features, everyone is invited to climb aboard. 

"The technology changes every year, so, whether it’s a new fish finder or trolling motor on the boat, new hydraulic sphering or outboards,  there’s a lot of innovation that’s happening and they really are quite different every year," said Ben Nielsen, the show manager. 

Tickets are available ahead of time and at the door.
