January and Feburary are peak season for spotting bald eagles along rivers and lakes in ... Missouri!

The 2012 boat show season is around the corner. Whether you plan to attend your local show or make a vacation out of visiting one in a sunny destination, a boat show is a great place to check out next year’s boat models, ogle the latest electronics and shop for gear. If you’re in the market for a new boat, it also can mean a real opportunity for savings. Not only can you comparison-shop among a wide selection of vessels at a show, but you also may find deals you won’t see anywhere else.
