Are you a boat

owner? Would you like to be one? If you answered yes to either of these

questions or are just an aficionado of aquatic activities, visit the 41st

annual Atlanta Boat Show at the Georgia World Congress Center starting

today and running through Jan. 12.

The Atlanta

Boat Show features sailing and fishing seminars, tons of bargains from

all of the major dealers and manufacturers, showcases on outdoor travel,

contests, appearances and more. Among the variety of products available

are houseboats, sailboats, powerboats, fishing and pontoon boats and personal

watercraft. Also on the premises will be the world's largest traveling

fishing aquarium.

As for special

promotions, the Atlanta Boat Show has a boat load. The first 100 children

under the age of 12 through the doors on Saturday and Sunday will receive

a free life jacket. Visitors will also be able to meet the Georgia Tech

crew team, which is considered to be the fastest team in the South. There

will be raffles to enter, a boating photo contest, fishing simulators

and interactive games and the first 50 people to purchase a boat at the

show will receive a complimentary bottle of Pommery Champagne. Five of

those winners will win dinner for two at Dante's Down the Hatch.
