The Washington Boat Show, which closes today at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, clearly has one main draw—new models of more than 500 cruisers, yachts, and, well, boats. The show is the region’s largest, stretching nine acres, and includes a multitude of boating accessories as well, from electronics to toilets to foul-weather gear. With row after row of vessels and products on display, here's a look at how exhibitors worked to stand out.
